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.

Beautiful Plaid card featuring the Grow with Love bundle

April 30, 2025

I shared this pretty card on a recent video. I made it for our Team swap which had a plaid theme.

Save

It features the Grow with Love bundle seen here. My colors include Basic Beige, Old Olive and Lost Lagoon – taken from the pretty Timeless Plaid layer.

The basil and stamped frame are all done with the Grow with Love dies. The greeting is from the Mixed Label dies. I did sponge the edges and the leaves with Lost Lagoon ink. The herb images in this set are so pretty and have Stampin' Up!'s distinktive style which shows off multiple hues with one inking. The coordinating dies cut off the herb names; a great option if you do not want to include them.

Save

The pretty embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. I'm so sad it's retiring! This textured piece is made from our 2-toned Olive 12 X 12" card stock. When embossing this white core paper the texture reveals the white core just enough to enhance the texture. I could have sanded it to reveal even more texture but I did not.

Another sweet card with Wildflower Birthday & Labeled with Love

April 29, 2025
Here's one more card featuring the beautiful Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP.

Save

I changed up just a few things from the card I shared yesterday to make a totally new fun fold card. Here I used Soft Sea Foam as my card base with Pretty in Pink and Blueberry Bushel accents.

I used the Labeled with Love stamp set & coordinating punch. Unfortunately this stamp set just sold out; it was on the Last Chance/retired list.

Here's what it looks like opened.

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 3 1/4" X 2 5/8"
- White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP – left panel 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", cakes panel 3" X 2 3/8"
And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

April 28, 2025

I'm excited to share this card with you today.

Save

It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before. With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.

I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards. It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil. It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating. See it here.

Save

I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here.

Save

Here's how the cards look fully opened. For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over.
