Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!

May 13, 2025

Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip. We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them! Thank you all for your support!!

Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

Save

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion. I love how she used them as the focal point of her card. She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers. She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer.

She added even more dies to the inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

Save

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects.

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here. Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge. Genius!

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here. And even her gems are from this suite!

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:

Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4".

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
