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.

Save

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.  

Save

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

• White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"

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"

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. 

Save

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!

• Springtime Scenes bundle meets Painted Illusions DSP

  April 1, 2026

  ---

  I had a play with the Springtime Scenes bundle and paired it with the pretty Painted Illusions designer paper.

  Save

  My colors are Pretty in Pink, White & Lost Lagoon.
  Measurements: Card base 4 1/4″ X 11″, DSP 1 3/4″ X 5 1/2″, White square 3 1/4″, Lost Lagoon square 3 1/2″

  I started out with the large circle/leaf die-cut. I stamped the greeting inside the circle and then textured the White square with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder. Now I could add the circle, the flower – both from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. It was out of stock for awhile but it’s back now. So many neat die-cuts and the greetings are quite a good variety.

  Save

  Next I adhered a strip of the Painted Illusions DSP (Product of the Month) to the card base and added two thin scraps of White CS diagonally. Because I had the large square and the DSP strip I felt it needed something without hard angles like the square/rectangle layers. This gives a bit of fun to the card.

• Neat Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

  March 30, 2026

  ---

  I shared this neat fun fold card on last week’s video. It is the standard size card but shows off your designer paper so nicely.

  Save

  The 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock has an extra score line on the front left. This gives you a spot for a DSP strip and to adhere a 4 1/4″ piece of DSP under that flap. It opens fully because the DSP is only attached to the scored flap. So cool!
  My colors include Misty Moonlight, Strawberry Slush & Crushed Curry; taken from the designer series paper. The little butterflies dies are from the Cutest Crew dies. That greeting is from the Springtime Scenes dies.

  I used the new Homemade Sweetness DSP here with the greeting from the Cutest Crew stamp set. The checked Misty Moonlight ribbon is in the suite with the Homemade Sweetness DSP. There is also a stamp & dies bundle and gems. Here’s a link to the DSP:

  I did create a free project sheet for this card so you can make this fun fold too. Click here to access it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this sweet card; I hope you watch it.
