Three pretty swap cards with great layouts


Our Team swap theme was nature or animals this month. I’m sharing three pretty cards I think you’ll want to case.

First is a card made by Jonna who is featuring the Nature’s Symphony suite.

She used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and the Nature’s Walk designer paper here. I love the layout so much! Adding your greeting strip across the front is a fantastic way to break up the large layers.
Her colors include Pretty Peacock and White.

Measurements are as follows:

– Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
– Pretty Peacock large layer 5 3/8″ X 4 3/8″, small layer 3″ X 4 1/4″, strip 4 1/8″ X 1″, inside is 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
– White 2 3/4″ X 4″, inside 4″ X 5 1/4″
– DSP 4″ X 5 1/4″

Inks used: Pretty Peacock and White Craft ink.

The next card is made by Tracey who used a new to me’ tearing technique on her pretty card:

She used the Floral Charm designer paper. Actually it’s just one sheet and measured 3″ X 4″ before she tore it. The technique she used is called ‘Rip & Flip’. You tear the lower half off and flip it to reveal the other side. Slide the torn piece under the upper portion to hide the ‘cut’ side. So cool!

Look at the ribbon above the greeting circle. She formed loops of Berry Burst 1/4″ shiny ribbon and adhered it underneath the flowers and greeting. So smart and unique!
The colored and die-cut flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora bundle seen here.

Measurements:

– Pretty Peacock card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
– Berry Burst 4 1/4″ X 3 1/4″
– DSP 4″ X 3″
– White circle die-cut

Lastly is Candy’s card featuring the Nature’s Symphony stamp set with a neat technique:

She cased this technique from Kim Quade. She created a window with the Stylish Shapes dies and another piece of paper. She used Blending Brushes inside the window for the soft, multicolored look and stamped the leaves before removing her mask.

Her ink colors include Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Fresh Freesia. She stamped the images with Secret Sea. Beautifully done!

I’ll share more swap cards tomorrow.

  • See both sides of your designer paper with this cool fun fold card; video tutorial too!


    The Last Chance list has been out for almost 2 weeks now; things are going fast!  Do you have everything you want from this sale?  Remember it's while supplies last! 

    2023 last chance

    Also note that some prices are going up. The cost of business is increasing world wide; as I'm sure you've noticed when shopping.  Here's a chart showing some of the price changes in the upcoming new Annual Catalog. 

    2023 annual catalog price increaseNow on to the projects! 

    I shared these neat cards on last week's Live video. I love it when you can show off both sides of our pretty designer papers! 

    Pretty Prints dsp gatefold

    This card uses almost half of a 12 X 12" piece of designer paper; but it truly makes the most of your printed paper. 

    I chose the Pretty Prints DSP from the Annual catalog.  It includes 4 colors; Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss. It's on the retiring list now and discounted to $8.40 instead of $12.  See it here. 

    PRETTY PRINTS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

    It's quite an easy fold to make.  You make a few score lines and then trim off the top at an angle; then add that trimmed piece to the bottom edge.  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
    • DSP 5 ¼” X 12” score at 2”, 4”, 8” & 10”. Mark at 2 3/8” and cut off to 4” mark
    • White front square 2 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5" 
    • Front square layer 2 1/2"

    I chose the Kind & Sincere stamp set for my greetings.  I think the mixed font and wide range of phrases is fabulous.  Unfortunately it is on the retiring list. It's now $15.60 instead of  $26.
