Lovely & Sweet card is filled with textures; get the free project sheet or watch the video

January 30, 2024

This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.

The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge? that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it. The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here.

Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

If you order this suite you'll earn two free Sale-a-Bration choices! Or get it and almost $20 more with the Starter Kit deal!

Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves. I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

More Specialty Paper Team swaps with measurements!

March 5, 2026
Here are a few more team swaps featuring Stampin’ Up!’s specialty papers:

First up today is Tracey’s card who used the fractured technique.

Save

This technique starts with a large piece of designer paper. Then add the diagonal square layer. Next you simply start adding the thin strips of DSP around the edges of the square piece; trimming off the excess on the outer edges. So easy!

She chose the Lovely & Beautiful DSP for the main piece and the strips are the Season of Elegance specialty DSP found in the Annual Catalog.
The greeting is from Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love the thin layer of gold on the outer edge!

Measurements:
- Olive card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
- Gold layer 5 1/8″ X 3 7/8″
- DSP is 3 3/4″ X 5″, inside DSP 5 1/4″ X 4″
- thin DSP strips are 1/4″ thick.
- White square is1 7/8″, inside is 5″ X 3 3/4″
Save

The inside greeting is from Prayers & Promises, the flower and leaves are from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

Next is a pretty card made by Marla who also used the Season of Elegance DSP.

Save

The main circle dies are from the brand new Springtime Scenes bundle which is currently out of stock. The greeting circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
Her colors are Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry & Basic Beige.

Card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. DSP is 4″ X 5 1/4″

More swaps are coming tomorrow!
