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.

An easy card with Prairie Grass & Thoughtful Journey

July 30, 2025

Here’s the last card I shared on last week’s video – all three featured the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it’s available.

I stamped it onto a piece of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. Then I cut it into 3/4″ strips before adhering it onto the Black CS layer and then the White card base.

You might wonder where the layered greeting shape is from. I used the To the Point punch with a 3/4″ strip of DSP like this:

Tip: Insert your paper through the back of the punch like you see above. Notice it’s not through the side; but inserted into the back area. Once you do both ends and you’re happy with the length of it, adhere it to a Black strip 1″ wide and punch both ends to layer evenly.

Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

July 29, 2025

I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today. We made it at my July card clubs.

Save

I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'. I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.

It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have! *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th.

After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little. It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

See the flap on the left side of the card above? That flap holds down the front of the card. So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?
