Beautiful Autumn themed card swaps by my Team.

November 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing two card swaps by my talented team members. Our theme was Autumn or Halloween.

First is a stunning card made by Tracey. She used the new Stampin’ Hot Foil system here:

I was absolutely blown away by this card! She used the Lustrous Leaves hot foil dies seen here. It includes a set of masks that allow you to add gorgeous colors using Blending Brushes.

Here’s a photo of the bundle:

Her colors include Lost Lagoon with Crisp Cantaloupe. The silver hot foil details really makes the leaves stand out!

The greeting is stamped on a Spotlight on Nature die-cut. See those here.

Next is a sweet fall card made by Candy.

She used the Simple Leaves bundle seen here.

Her colors include Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Old Olive. The neat embossing folder is called Textured Tree Ring and can be found here. It’s on the Last Chance list and available while supplies last. It’s reduced in price too!

I’ll share another Team swap card tomorrow; stay tuned!

Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

April 28, 2025

I'm excited to share this card with you today.

It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before. With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.

I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards. It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil. It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating. See it here.

I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here.

Here's how the cards look fully opened. For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over.

There's a free project sheet with measurements, photos, supplies list and directions. Click on the following link to print or download it. Remember these project sheets can be used as a starting point with whatever products you own! Download Wildflower Birthday April Club

This stamp set just sold out but the Labeled with Love punch is carrying over into the new catalog.

And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

April 25, 2025
Today is the last day of the free shipping promotion; don't miss out on the savings!

Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month. The theme was to feature plaid.

Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel. Wow! He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks! See it here.

I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather. The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

Measurements:
- card base 10 3/4" X 5 1/2" sc0re at 1 5/8", 3 1/4", 7 1/2" & 9"
- left panel 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"; right panel 2 7/8" X 3 7/8"
- purple side panels 1 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- left 'plaid' panel is 2 3/8" X 3 3/8"; right panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Next is an adorable fun fold made by Lori.

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

And it opens yet one more time! I love how she added details to every layer on each side. Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", checkered flap is 4 3/4" X 1 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
