We held our monthly Team swap this weekend and I'm thrilled to share the cards with you! Our themed was Christmas cards. 

First is this stunning card made by Roxann:

She chose the Night Divine bundle seen here. Unfortunately I noticed the stamp set is out of stock now; it should be back in a few weeks.  She also used the O Holy Night designer paper seen here.  

Here's the bundle: such beautiful greetings and the dies…!!

You can see her fun fold a little better in this image below:

• 3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

  July 11, 2025

  ---

  I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

  • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
  • standard card sizes and layers
  • which ink to use when coloring with markers

  First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

  Save

  I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out. 

  ~~~

  Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

  Save

  I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

  • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

  ~~~

  Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

  1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
  2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
  3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp. 

  Save

  *I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

  My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!
