Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold


Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October.  Our theme was winter or Christmas. 

First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene! 

She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here.  She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder. 

She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees!  It's so pretty and real looking!

Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey.  You might think she used designer paper here….. 

It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes.  Simply gorgeous!

The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. 

Measurements of the layers are as follows:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
  • Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
  • Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita. 

She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees.  The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base.  It's a neat fold! 

Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2". 

Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap.  My gals are super talented!!

    My other September card kit is the Timeless Tidings card kit which features all fun fold layouts.

    This designer paper includes multiple printed tags and other elements that makes creating quick and easy. Look!

    Each of the cards above has a unique fold and the layouts make the most of the fun tags and printed elements in the kit.

    There are 3 different layouts and you’ll make 3 of each. Besides the Timeless Tidings DSP I also added the 3 color Christmas twine and the Christmas berries & leaves to the cards.

    The pre-cut kit includes 1/2 pkg of the designer paper and a share of the twine and berries/leaves gems. You’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND all pre-cut pieces. To complete your cards just add stamped greetings and cut your new DSP using the tutorial provided. Everything else is done for you. It’s so fun to play and create with these pre-cut kits; I get a ton of compliments and lots of repeat customers.

  • Sunflower Fields card kit to go; or PDF tutorial option. Reserve yours!


    Fall is coming soon for some of us and the new Sunflower Fields designer series paper may be just what you need to get your autumnal cards made.

    I chose it for one of my September card kits to go. You can see the entire suite here.

    Most of these cards are special fun fold layouts and one includes a gift card option. I design my card kits to feature the designer paper, ribbons and gems. You don’t need any special stamps to finish them; only greetings.

    My pre-cut kits to go include all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts and punched pieces. You will receive 1/2 pkg of the Sunflower Fields designer paper and will use the measurements in the tutorial to cut them for each card. Everything else is cut for you.

    You also receive a share of the Golden Glow ribbon and the Radiant Gems; it’s about $20 in Stampin’ Up! products! The PDF tutorial is included in the price of $32 plus shipping. I highly recommend adding on another card kit to save on shipping costs.

    You can get the pre-cut kit to go here. There is also a PDF tutorial option for $17 here.

    See all of the choices in my shop here. I have many other kits or tutorials available.

    I’ll share my second card kit to go tomorrow; think Christmas!

  • Sharing the Poetic Petals bundle in a unique way! Video & free project sheet too.


    Here’s the card I shared on last week’s Live video. It features the new Poetic Petals bundle.

    Isn’t it cute?! The colors are Barely Blush with Lemon Lolly and Old Olive. I die-cut the floral square and the Perennial Postage outer edge at the same time. Then I colored the flowers, frame and leaves with Blends markers. The frame is reinserted into the window and secured together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

    The Poetic Petals bundle is new this month and available in our online store.

    The stamp set is wonderful with mixed fonts and greetings for many occasions. You can see the bundle here. But the dies are what sold me:

    There are 6 dies in this set; three frames and three inside floral die-cuts.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. You can click here to access it.

    I also shared how to make it in a video seen below. I hope you watch it. I also share many of the new September specials happening with Stampin’ Up!
