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!

  • Timeless Plaid card kit for great men’s card ideas. Reserve yours now!


    If you're like me you tend to make more cards for the gals than the guys. So I thought I'd focus on men's cards for one of my kits & tutorials in April.  I chose to feature the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for these terrific cards. 

    Timeless Plaid cards .

    Aren't these great card ideas?  Many are fancy fold cards and perfect for the men in your life. The color combinations with the plaid DSP are quite eye catching. 

    You have a few options here:  Choose the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial. 

    This card kit includes the following items:

    • the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
    • 1/2 pkg Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper (6" X 6")
    • a share of the Faux Glass Dots
    • a share of Linen Thread
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.

    The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The pre-cut kit is $31 and is seen here. 

    Reserve yours soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues. 

    For the kit to go you'll need greeting images (I used With You in Mind and Unbounded Love sets but any will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper.

  • Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures


    On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.  

    Botanical Textures.1]

    This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.  

    WOVEN TEXTURES 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

    I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  I cannot stop using this bundle!!

    This layout was inspired by this sketch.   

    Sketch 5a

    I love using sketches for my inspiration!  Think of them as a starting point.  Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread. 

    Botanical Textures suite

    Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip?  That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here.  I tell you this suite is incredible!  I love every single thing in it!

    Below is the inside view.  Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards. 

    Here is the free project sheet for you. Click on the following link to print or download the directions: Download Woven Textures suite card

    And here is the video below; it also includes how to make the Bendy card that I shared yesterday.
