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!

Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

April 5, 2021

This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.

I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.

This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips. I find the colors stunning together!

Save

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight. The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards.

These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.

Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time.

The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last! the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

April 2, 2021
Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is.

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting. What are your traditions for Easter?

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out. I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

April 1, 2021
The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene. It's one of my favorite techniques!

Save

One of the stencils has clouds in it. I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS.

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge. Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink. I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.
