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″

Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!

January 6, 2023

I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper. That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet!

I made the first cut across at 5 1/2". Then cut each piece at 3" wide. This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack. It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th. See it here.

If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker. Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs. And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade? This works on both paper AND ribbon!

If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?

I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool. Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.

Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it. I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine. It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.

**Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it. The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here.

Petal Park with Kind & Sincere and a masked background technique with video tutorial

January 4, 2023

This is the other card I shared on my Stamp with Me Live on Monday evening. You can see it here on my YouTube Channel now.

I used post-it notes and a Blending Brush to achieve this soft line of color and then stamped my flowers and dotted image around it. I love the effect!

I used a pretty color combination of Coastal Cabana with Night of Navy. What do you think of these together?

I've created quite a few cards by combining these two stamp sets together. I'm not sure why; they seem to pair up so easily.

I did stamp a set of flowers on a separate piece of White card stock and punched them out so I could curl the petals and pop them up. I like to add more dimension to my cards this way.

I also did the same with my smaller greeting, stamping it on a scrap of Coastal Cabana to add below the 'Thanks'.

Click here or on the image below to watch the video; you'll get great tips on achieving this pretty technique.
