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!

Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips

December 23, 2020

I totally enjoy making these strip cards! It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use!

You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below.

I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card. It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last. The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler. See it here.

I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies. They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog. See them here now.

Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card with video; it’s easier than it looks!

December 22, 2020
We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs. It features the Snowflake Wishes bundle and the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.

The colors were inspired by the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper. It's Balmy Blue, White & Highland Heather.

This gorgeous designer paper is retiring in a few weeks and it's on sale now while supplies last! See it here.

The Snowflake Wishes bundle is also retiring (as a bundle). It's returning separately in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May but it will not be 10% off then. See it here.

The measurements can be found below. It's a standard A2 card. Here's a copy of the project sheet for this card.

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", plus 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from both ends
- Snowflake Splendor DSP 1" X 4" (2 pieces)
- Highland Heather 3 3/4" square
- Whisper White 3 1/2" square for front, 3 1/2" X 3" for inside, 1" X 3 1/2" for front greeting

Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

December 21, 2020
Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space? Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point? Every piece of this card was a scrap!

The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it. So it sat in a pile for weeks.

The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink. The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too. You can see them here. They're 50% off right now; while supplies last. They are perfect for shaker cards too.

The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too! Easy peasy!

I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th. I'm so sad it's going away! If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone. Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White 3" X 3 5/8"
- Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
- Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces
Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
