Check out these Team Swaps featuring Specialty Paper – with measurements!

March 4, 2026

Our card swap theme for February was to feature our beautiful specialty papers. Today I’m sharing three of them with you.

First is a neat fun fold card by Karen. She chose the Lovely & Beautiful specialty DSP and her card shows off both sides wonderfully!

She also used the Three Banner bundle for her greeting. Love that saying! See this punch bundle here.
The stitched square die-cut from Stylish Shapes dies hides the inside panel perfectly.

Measurements are as follows:

Card base 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″
White 5 1/4″ X 4″, inside is 2 3/4″ square
DSP 5″ X 6″ score at 2″ on the 6″ side
Calypso Coral square die-cut 2 3/4″

Next is Kim’s card who also chose to use the Lovely & Beautiful DSP. She heat embossed her greeting on Vellum!

Notice the brand new embossing folder – it’s called Lazy Daisy and coordinates great with the DSP she chose.

Measurements:

Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, Olive layer 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
DSP 4″ X 2 1/4″
Fresh Freesia 4″ X 3″
Gold strip 4″ X 1/2″

Next is a neat shaker card made by Joan. She used the Good Luck stamp set.

Her colors are Shy Shamrock (of course!) and Shaded Spruce with Gold accents.

Measurements:

Shy Shamrock card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, top layer is 3 3/4″ X 5″
Shaded Spruce 4″ X 5 1/4″
circle window is 2 3/4″
White inside 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

I’ll share more Team swaps tomorrow.

My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

December 2, 2021

I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea! I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time. It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!

I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit! It's so fun to do.

For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes.

Save

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with. For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp.

And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

Save

I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these! They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

Below is the video so you can see how it's done.
