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!

Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

November 27, 2023

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?

I've always loved wreaths. In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room.

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

Save

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

Save

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck!

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made. I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

Save

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

Save

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath? Gold or white embossed greeting?

Save

Below is the video where I shared this pretty card. Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!
