More Team card swaps

March 25, 2026

Today I’m sharing the other card swaps my Team members made featuring Online Exclusive products.

First is Karen’s card made with the Homemade Sweetness suite seen here.

It’s a book-binding fold where the left side is adhered together and just the right part opens.

Check out the embossed layers with the Ladybug Picnic embossing folder. It’s so neat! Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now; but it will be back. If you want it be sure to add your email to the product to be informed when it’s back.

Next is Candy’s card made with the Cutest Crew stamp set seen here. She wanted to use the dies but they were out of stock. They came back for two days and are now out of stock again! Popular set!

Her colors are stunning! Bubble Bath with Smoky Slate and White. She stamped the kittens on the Nested Essentials die-cut and colored them in with Smoky Slate & Bubble Bath Blends markers. The embossing folder is the Hearts of Love embossing folder.

~~~

Here’s Joan’s card featuring the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper.

She layered 3 different pieces of this foiled paper with Pretty in Pink before adding her greeting layer on top. Neat layout!

~~~

Lastly is Jess’s card featuring the Lovely Stripes embossing folder seen here.

The vertical strips of DSP are from the Made with Love. I like how she alternated the DSP strips with the card stock strips. This is the first swap she joined; she did a great job!

Her greeting is from the Cutest Crew stamp set.

That’s it for our March swaps. I hope you are inspired by their creations!

Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

July 11, 2024

This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Save

I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit. It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes. I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact.

See this kit here online:

Save

This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card. There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below.

Save

Below are all three individual cards I made.

For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.

For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below. This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting.

Save

You can see this beautiful kit here. It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

July 10, 2024

Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras.

Save

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder. It cuts and embosses at the same time. Genius! Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see.

Save

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

Save

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

See the previous two blog posts for the free project sheets. Or click here to see all of my project sheets!

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!
