Marilyn made this pretty card:

Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.

The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

The dimensions are:
  • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
  • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
  • Banish all score lines toward the center
  • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.

Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

    Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.  

    First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

    Otterly Amazing swap Kelly Save

    The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom.  She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers.  Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 

    Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

    Otterly Amazing Tracy Save

    She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open.  Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

    Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark.  the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4".  The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog.

    Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison. 

    Otterly Amazing Julie Save

    Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here.  Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter.

  • Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs

    Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap. 

    First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality. 

    Perfect Pairs Selene Save
    I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso.  Cute layout too!  Her cards are often among my favorites.  The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.

    This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill. 

    Marbled Elegance Kay C Save

    She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image. 

    You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here.  It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!

  • Stunning Marbled Elegance swap cards

    Today I'm sharing some card swaps I received from a mail out swap I participated in.   These cards all feature the Marbled Elegance suite seen online here.  

    First up is a pretty card made by my friend Kelly Acheson: 

    Marbled Elegance Kelly Save

    She added a bunch of gold elements plus a fussy cut 'xoxo' greeting. She heat embossed the greeting, used Gold Foil for her die-cut heart and DSP layer plus the new Twisted Gold thread and Gold Adhesive-backed Hearts. Whew!  

    ~~~

    This next card was created by another sweet friend from Minnesota, Kay Kalthoff.  

    Classic Wedding Kay K Save

    She used the Classic Wedding bundle seen here.  So cute!  Love the car with the 'just married' banner added to the back.  

    ~~~

    Next is a beautiful card made by another Minnesota friend; Sandy Carlson.  

    Marbled Elegance Sandy Carlson Save

    Her colors are Melon Mambo with Gold & white. She used two of the heart dies in the bundle plus textured the White square die-cut with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love banners and adding that 2" banner on the left adds a good amount of this Marbled Elegance DSP without overpowering the card.  

    ~~~

    Lastly we have a gorgeous card made by my friend Ruth Bingle from Arkansas. We love to hang out together on our SU trips. She's a doll!

    Marbled Elegance Ruth Save

    Her card has a center flap opening.  I didn't get a photo of the inside though.  She used the Metal plate folder for her embossed strips on the side.  Isn't that gold textured heart die-cut gorgeous!?

    I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.
