Lots of product displays from my New Catalog Launch party!

I held my New Catalog launch party on Saturday and today I'm sharing some of the displays I had for my customers. It was a cold day here but I still had a decent turnout. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I forgot.

• Three pretty swap cards with great layouts

  April 30, 2026

  ---

  Our Team swap theme was nature or animals this month. I’m sharing three pretty cards I think you’ll want to case.

  First is a card made by Jonna who is featuring the Nature’s Symphony suite.

  Save

  She used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and the Nature’s Walk designer paper here. I love the layout so much! Adding your greeting strip across the front is a fantastic way to break up the large layers.
  Her colors include Pretty Peacock and White.

  Measurements are as follows:

  – Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
  – Pretty Peacock large layer 5 3/8″ X 4 3/8″, small layer 3″ X 4 1/4″, strip 4 1/8″ X 1″, inside is 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
  – White 2 3/4″ X 4″, inside 4″ X 5 1/4″
  – DSP 4″ X 5 1/4″

  Save

  Inks used: Pretty Peacock and White Craft ink.

  The next card is made by Tracey who used a new to me’ tearing technique on her pretty card:

  Save

  She used the Floral Charm designer paper. Actually it’s just one sheet and measured 3″ X 4″ before she tore it. The technique she used is called ‘Rip & Flip’. You tear the lower half off and flip it to reveal the other side. Slide the torn piece under the upper portion to hide the ‘cut’ side. So cool!

  Look at the ribbon above the greeting circle. She formed loops of Berry Burst 1/4″ shiny ribbon and adhered it underneath the flowers and greeting. So smart and unique!
  The colored and die-cut flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora bundle seen here.

  Measurements:

  – Pretty Peacock card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
  – Berry Burst 4 1/4″ X 3 1/4″
  – DSP 4″ X 3″
  – White circle die-cut

  Lastly is Candy’s card featuring the Nature’s Symphony stamp set with a neat technique:

  Save

  She cased this technique from Kim Quade. She created a window with the Stylish Shapes dies and another piece of paper. She used Blending Brushes inside the window for the soft, multicolored look and stamped the leaves before removing her mask.

  Her ink colors include Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Fresh Freesia. She stamped the images with Secret Sea. Beautifully done!

  I’ll share more swap cards tomorrow.
