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!

How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

February 7, 2022
We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!

Save

I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.

Isn't it extraordinary!? Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

Below is the template with measurements. Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.

I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to. It could be placed in the fold of any card you make!

Save

The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!

The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink. I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card.

Who knew?!

February 5, 2022

If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed!

One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos. She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me! Incredible!

Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps

February 4, 2022
Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here. They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme.

The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold.

Save

I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. She sponged the sky & grass too.

Measurements:
- Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8"
- White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
- Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it.

Save

Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla. I'd forgotten about this unique card fold! It looks like a normal card at first glance.

Save

But when you lift the front it reveals this!

Save

She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front. She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip.

Measurements:
- Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
- Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6"
- Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
