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″

In Color bundle special offer ends May 1st!

April 27, 2023

Each year with the new in colors release I offer my customers a special In Color Bundle. I include lots of items so you have perfectly coordinating products to create with.

I created these CUTE cards with all 5 new In Colors and the Crafting with You bundle.

I used many products that are included in my special bundle: card stock, ink, ribbons, dots and designer series paper. They're a great example of all you can create when your products coordinate so perfectly.

If you look closely you can see that I stamped a background in each color of ink using the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set.

Look at the die-cutting machine; it even has textured paper going through it! I did that by cutting a slit with my craft knife. The large white angled die-cut is made with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Everyone who pre-orders my In Color bundle will receive a free bonus of a ribbon share & In Color dots too!

In Colors include: Pebbled Path, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue & Wild Wheat

Interested in the In Color bundle? There are three choices for you through May 1st:

Option 1: Get the 5 ink pads, 5 ink refills, 20 sheets 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock, 10 sheets new 6" In Color DSP and get the free ribbon share & in Color gems. $93 (*Long distance customers add $8.50 for Priority shipping for options 1 or 2)

Option 2: Get all of the In Color items above PLUS 5 new In Color Blends markers – pay for 4 and get 1 FREE. Cost $142 total

Option 3: Add on the new Designer Paper share to either option 1 or 2 – 80 sheets of 6 X 6" DSP. Cost is $28.50. *see photo below. *click here to order it separately.

*Long distance customers message me here if you'd like one of these options and I'll send you an invoice.

Here are another fabulous group of cards with these in colors, created by Sue Stampfield. She shared these cards in a swap group I'm in with her. She used the Circle Sayings bundle; another new product you can get on May 2nd! *or earlier if you are a Demonstrator

A NEW catalog bundle – Timeless Arrangements. And a NEW Designer Paper share too!

April 26, 2023

If you're near me in Minot, ND I hope you'll plan to come to my New Catalog Launch party on Saturday, April 29th. It's at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm.

I have been prepping and working hard on samples, displays, special offers and more. I love to spoil my customers with yummy treats too!

Would you like to receive every sheet of designer paper in the new Annual Catalog? I'm doing my usual designer paper share with the new catalog. It includes 12 different packs of NEW DSP.

Go here to sign up for your share. Or message me here with any questions you have. (Locals please message me to sign up)

Check out this pretty card made with a brand new bundle from the upcoming 2023 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!

It's called Timeless Arrangements and Demonstrators could pre-order it before the catalog launches on May 2nd for customers. It was one of my top choices; I've made at least 4 cards with it so far and will be sharing them with you in the next week.

My colors include Starry Sky, White and Fresh Freesia. I paired it with a new package of 6 X 6" designer paper called Bright & Beautiful.

Here's how I stamped the inside. I used two of the foliage images on one block and stamped them repeatedly in first and second generation.

I shared another version in my video yesterday; see it here. This card features Petal Pink with Starry Sky along with a bit of Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

click here or on the photo below to watch the video; it's the second project.

Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!

April 25, 2023
Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme. I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.

The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting. I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle.

The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting. See it here. The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

I used two NEW products on this card. Can you spot them?

New items:
1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve.
2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements.
See the Basic Border dies here: I love these dies; they're so versatile. I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
