Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!


Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
  • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
  • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

I shared another version of this card here last week.  

To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 


Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
  • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
  • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!

  • The Color Coach is back!


    If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help.  It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations. 

    The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

    One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

    It's $12.50 and can be seen here. 

    For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well?  They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully! 

    Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination.  SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog. 

    Have a great weekend!

  • Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite


    Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.  

    First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

    The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom.  She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers.  Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 

    Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

    She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open.  Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

    Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark.  the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4".  The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog. 

    Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison. 

    Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here.  Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter. 

    See this suite here online.

  • Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs


    Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap. 

    First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality. 

    I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso.  Cute layout too!  Her cards are often among my favorites.  The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here. 

    ~~~

    This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill. 

    She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image. 

    You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here.  It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items! 

    Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples? 

    I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.
