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.

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″

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.

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!

Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

May 16, 2025

Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store. Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog? They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.

This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap. I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat. She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist.

Save

Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set. The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.

Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock.

Save

She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months! I hope it comes back soon. It is expected around June 2nd.

Here's the view when it's open:

The card base is 11" X 5 1/2". It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7". Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines.

The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".

It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer. So cool! No difficulty measuring your layers when you do it this way.

Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle. I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

Save

Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies! I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.

Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.

Adorable Turtle-y Cute fun fold card

May 15, 2025
Last weekend we held our monthly Team swap and Lori made this super cute card.

It's a vertical book binding card fold. I love how this fold allows you to show off so much fun products like the DSP and the embossing folder. Her turtle & balloon are fussy cut from the Turtle-y Cute DSP.

She used the Turtle-y Cute suite seen here. So many fun elements! Unfortunately the Turtle Textures embossing folder is currently unavailable.
