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!

How to make a forest of trees from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set!

June 22, 2022
I thought the flower image in the Wisteria Wishes stamp set would make wonderful trees. So I played around and here's the finished card:

I chose to use just one ink color of Evening Evergreen. I made this card in the video below; or click here to see it.

Tips on creating the trees:
- Starting at the bottom with the 3 flower image (turned point side up) stamp in full strength Evening Evergreen ink making sure you stamp some images higher and some lower. Ink every time filling in the very bottom fully.
- Now ink the same image and stamp off once before stamping slightly higher than the first 'trees'.
- Now ink the image again and stamp off twice before stamping even higher making sure you alter the height now & then.
- Wallah; you've created a forest of trees!
Did you know that Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are a perfect color combination? Stamping off once or twice can give you almost an exact Soft Succulent color tone.

You could make a bunch of these cards quickly and they're perfect for any occasion but to me they'd be great sympathy or men's cards.

Here are the other two cards I made with this bundle. It was super fun to play with!

Wisteria Wishes with the new Split Card Textures dies; with video!

June 21, 2022

Today I'm sharing another card featuring the Wisteria Wishes bundle. I paired it with the Split Card Textures dies seen here:

I have to say that I think it's gorgeous! The Split Card Textures dies are an easy & unique addition to your card projects. There are two dies in this set; you can see them here.

**Get both the Wisteria Wishes bundle and the Split Card Texture dies today

and you'll get your shipping FREE!

My colors are Starry Sky, Old Olive and White. I cut two sets of Wisteria with the Wisteria Dies and trimmed the smaller one a bit shorter. Then I sponged them with Starry Sky ink on the edges. I adhered them together with bits of Stampin' Dimensionals for lift.

I stamped the greeting in Old Olive directly on the White CS and the leaves are stamped & die-cut.

I wanted a fuller bow so I split the Old Olive twill ribbon into two long pieces and tied together in a bow.

The photo below includes the measurements.

Below are all of the cards I made on the video.

This week I'll be sharing the cards I made on last week's FB Live video. I chose to feature the pretty Wisteria Wishes bundle seen here.

Join me here for tomorrow's video.

My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White. This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind. There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though. I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better. You can see what I did in the video below.

This bundle is super versatile! I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well. You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!

Products used:
- Wisteria Wonder bundle
- Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party card stock & ink, Old Olive ink
- Stitched Rectangle dies
- Blending Brushes
- In Color twine combo pack
