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.

Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

October 27, 2020

Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week. It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.

Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects!

Which one do you prefer? Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image.

Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle. I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut. The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

October 23, 2020
At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween. But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!

I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

Here's the first one. Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?! There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all. You can see the video below.

Save

I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here. I love the pretty purple/blue background! The two owls are die-cut using the same die set. I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins.

This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above. I did cut out one extra. I stamped and colored directly on them.

Save

Other details:
- A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.
- The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
- the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags.
- The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
