More beautiful Team swaps for Autumn

September 19, 2025

First up is a fun fold card made by Paula:

This pretty stamp is part of the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set seen here. She colored the image in with Blends markers. Beautiful work Paula!

I don’t remember seeing a fold like this card before. I love that the main panel on the left is accented by the DSP panel on the right.

Here are her measurements:
– card base 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″ & 9 1/8″
– left panel – vanilla 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″, Early Espresso 3″ X 5″
– right panel – DSP 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, Early Espresso layer 3″ X 4″
– Vanilla inside 3 3/4″ X 5″

Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:

Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

~~~

Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

Measurements:
– Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″
– Daffodil Delight 2″ X 5 1/4″ for the left panel, inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
– Black square 3″
– White front square 2 3/4″, Inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!

May 13, 2025
Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip. We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them! Thank you all for your support!!

Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion. I love how she used them as the focal point of her card. She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers. She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer.

She added even more dies to the inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects.

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here. Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge. Genius!

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here. And even her gems are from this suite!

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:
- Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4".
- DSP on the inside left 2 5/8" X 5 1/2", on the right 1 5/8" X 5 1/2"
- Cloud Cover layer is 2 1/2" X 4"

New In Color samples with Impressions Abloom

May 12, 2025

I made these cards for my In Color display board. The Impressions Abloom bundle is one of my favorites among the new Online Exclusives.

This bundle has it all – beautiful images, pretty greetings and amazing die-cuts!

It's a 2-step stamp set and has 3 sets of flowers and a set of leaves in images. I love the greetings and the dies especially. These pretty ovals are perfect! See the Impressions Abloom bundle here.

The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first. Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts. The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D.

These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
