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!

Sharing the Poetic Petals bundle in a unique way! Video & free project sheet too.

September 8, 2026

Here’s the card I shared on last week’s Live video. It features the new Poetic Petals bundle.

Isn’t it cute?! The colors are Barely Blush with Lemon Lolly and Old Olive. I die-cut the floral square and the Perennial Postage outer edge at the same time. Then I colored the flowers, frame and leaves with Blends markers. The frame is reinserted into the window and secured together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

The Poetic Petals bundle is new this month and available in our online store.

The stamp set is wonderful with mixed fonts and greetings for many occasions. You can see the bundle here. But the dies are what sold me:

September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!

September 1, 2026

It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

Save

It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

Save

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
*Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

Save

Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

Save

That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!
