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!

Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial

June 17, 2024

On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper. Here's the first card:

Save

I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut.

This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here.

Save

Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card.

Save

I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

Here's the free project sheet you can print or download: Download Friends for Life Best Wishes here

Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!

Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!

They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here. It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.

My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp.

She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!

Stunning cards in the Thoughtful Journey kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial

June 13, 2024
I couldn't wait to play and create with the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey designer paper. I think scenic paper like this makes card making a breeze! I decided to make each card a fancy fold too.

Save

I design my kit around the paper and added supplies so all you need to add is stamped greetings. I chose to use the So Sincere set this time; which you can add on at a discount.

This incredibly beautiful designer paper is filled with watercolor scenes and backgrounds making is super easy to create with.
