More Specialty Paper swaps for you.


From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

~~~

Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

More swaps coming soon!

  • Two Elegant cards by my Team


    Yesterday I shared two of my Flowerbug's Team swaps here and today I'm sharing two more.  They do a fabulous job on their swaps and I love seeing what they create!

    First is Tracey's card featuring the Friends are Like Seashells bundle.  The fact that the die has a coordinating embossing folder (seen here) makes these products AND projects uniquely special.  See it here. 

    June Tracey

    Her colors are Pool Party & Very Vanilla.  She embossed both the Vanilla die-cut layer and the Pool party layer to reveal the embossed dots on the background.  Love this!

    ~~~

    Lori made this next card with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer paper seen here.  She colored the gold paper with Mint Macaron ink with Blending Brushes.  That extra pop of gold foil really brings it all together. 

    June Tracey

    Her dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set seen here.  Beautifully elegant!
