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.

• Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

  May 4, 2026

  I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

  Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

  This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

  My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

  We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?

  She combined new and current products for this beautiful card cased from Karen Hadler. That beautiful textured flower is from an upcoming bundle called Opulent Oasis. It includes a new die that textures; it’s called Textured Impression dies. I’ll share more details on this new product soon. It will be released on May 5th in the 2026 May-August catalog.

  The designer paper is called Lovely & Beautiful and can be seen here. The pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies.
