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.

  • Unique fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too


    I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video.  It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog.  This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th.

    My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White. 

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it?  It's not!  The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer.

    Isn't that neat?  And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.  

    Here's the view of the inside once opened.  That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps.  It's easy; watch the video! 

    **I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me.  If not find me here.

  • Incredible Seagull fun fold card with measurements!


    Lori made this adorable card for our August card swap.  

    August Lily Pond Lane Lori

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it. But wait!  It opens up like this:

    Aug Lori Lily Pond Lane

    Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

    She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

    She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center. 

    August Lily Pond Lane Lori

    She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other. 
    • 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together. 
    • White – 4" square for back of card
    • DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels
