Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs

Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap. 

First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.

I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso.  Cute layout too!  Her cards are often among my favorites.  The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.

This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill.

She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image. 

You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here.  It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!

Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.

• Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

  May 28, 2026

  ---

  Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

  Save

  Here’s how you do it:

  Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

  Save

   Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

  Save

   Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

  Save

  We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

  I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

  I have one Mystery Box left!

• More Team swaps!

  May 26, 2026

  Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

  Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

  Save

  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

  Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

  Save

  She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

  Save

  Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
  The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

  Save

  Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.

• Kits to Go Clearance sale starts today! While supplies last!

  May 22, 2026

  ---

  I have 14 available kits to go right now and I’ve marked most of them down to de-stash my stock. I want to clear them out before we move in a month.

  Be sure to check them all out here.

  Save

  Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.

  These are a steal of a deal!

  They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.

  Shop all tutorials and kits here.
