More Specialty Paper swaps for you.

March 6, 2026

From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

~~~

Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

~~~

Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

More swaps coming soon!

Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!

February 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them. If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.

The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here. Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set.

Measurements:
- Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.
- Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"

It's quite the special card isn't it? It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style.

I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week. My Flowerbug's are the best!

Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite:

Save

Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts.

Save

The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back.

Measurements:
- Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2"
- 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4"
- Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns

Save

She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here.

When you open up her card it's a gift card. What a great men's card idea!

Save

Oh; this one is so beautiful! Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper.

Save

This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers! the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene!

I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect! The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
- Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"
Save

This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now. *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here.

*Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!
