Last day of FREE shipping! More Team card swaps too

April 25, 2025

Today is the last day of the free shipping promotion; don't miss out on the savings!

Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month. The theme was to feature plaid.

Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel. Wow! He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks! See it here.

I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather. The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies. Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

And it opens yet one more time! I love how she added details to every layer on each side. Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

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.

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.

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.
