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!

Audrey, on my Flowerbug's Team is an expert at coloring and she gave me a few samples made with this set. *All I had to do was layer it and create a finished card with her beautiful colored image! Love that!

I used Sahara Sand as my card base and a few 1/4" strips of Black & White. The oval greeting with a Resin Heart finished it off!

3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

March 22, 2021

I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!' So I caved….and am so glad I did! The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love. I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right. I made them with the Bokeh technique. It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS. Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible. this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud. How do I know which colors don't mix? Trial and error of course! Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds. Or greens & blues!

Save

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink. I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock. I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

March 19, 2021
Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week? I have more coming tomorrow! My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month. They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!

Save

I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers. She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window. She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!
