Cutest Crew card swap

March 26, 2026

Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?

As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.

This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.

The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.

I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.

Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.

Paula made this cool card with the Dainty Delight bundle; she's so clever!

Her colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight & Night of Navy.

Details:
- She used the partial die-cut technique. She stamped & heat embossed the flower image first and then die-cut the layered edge to match before texturing it.
- That flowery DSP is the Regency Park paper in the 2023 Jan-April catalog.
- The texture is from the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here.
- Notice that little tiny daisy on the greeting banner? That's the new Loose Daisy Embellishments seen here. They are not adhesive-backed and can be added with a mini glue dot or a dot of glue. Each one has a little leaf on it!
Next is a pretty card by Karen featuring the Desert Details bundle and the Delicate Desert designer paper.

Her colors include Gray Granite & Calypso Coral with White & Gold. The greeting, pretty flowers and border die are all from that Desert Details bundle seen here.
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 5 1/2" X 3 1/8"
- Calypso Coral 5 1/2" X 3 1/2"
- White 4 1/2" X 3/4"
Next is a special card made by Candace using the Lucky Clover bundle.

The Lucky Clover bundle is unfortunately out of stock and not returning. The Lucky Clover punch is now unavailable. I'm sorry if you had your eye on it! You can still get the Lucky Clover stamp set though.

She used 2 different greens for her clovers – Soft Sea Foam, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen. What you can't see in the photo is the scoring she did on her black background. She used the scoring board on the diagonal to add a scored texture. So cool!

Happy Chinese New Year; it’s the year of the Rabbit

January 26, 2023
Did you know that 2023 is the year of the rabbit? The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

Look at this gorgeous card my team member Ginny made for a friend of hers:

She used quite a few new products on this beauty:
- Stamps – Decorative Borders seen here (2023 Spring Catalog)
- Paper – Gold foil & Real Red
- Other – Easter Bunny Punch, Red ribbon, Gold embossing powder, Heat Tool, Brushed Metallic dots
Here's the Decorative Borders stamp set:

You can be sure to see more of this stamp set from me in the near future!

She cased it from a card seen online. I'm so glad she shared it with me so I could show it to you.

Thank you Ginny!

Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

January 25, 2023

We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend. As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen. She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set. It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud! She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly. Genius! I plan to share her technique soon.

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

~~~

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping. My favorite types of stamp hands down!

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are:

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you. She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front. It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges. I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.
