Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

• Delicate Dreams fun fold cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

  March 9, 2026

  ---

  The beautiful Delicate Dreams suite is new in our online products. The designer paper is especially pretty but unfortunately it’s out of stock right now. So popular! I had planned to offer it as one of my kit to go’s this month but it will have to wait until April.

  I shared 3 unique fun fold cards featuring this suite on last week’s video. We made them at my February Team meeting and I’ll be sharing them all this week.

  Today I’m sharing the double flap card (top right above). This neat fold gives you lots of opportunities to use your beautiful designer series paper.

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, White, Secret Sea and Earthen Metallic foil paper. That beautiful blue you see here is an upcoming NEW in color called Hydrangea Hue. It’s going to be a favorite of many!

  Check out this gorgeous new Suite here. Add your email to the list of any product that’s out of stock and you’ll be notified when it’s available.

  Once you open it there’s a surprise inside; another layer to open!

  Save

  I added a simple strip of the pretty watercolor DSP and a flower die-cut from the pretty Delicate Dreams DSP. This pretty paper has bronze foil designs all over it!

  Here’s the final inside layer. I stamped images from the Delicate Whispers stamp set.

• More Specialty Paper swaps for you.

  March 6, 2026

  ---

  From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

  First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

  Save

  She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

  The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

  ~~~

  Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

  Save

  Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

  What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

  ~~~

  Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

  Save

  Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

  This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

  More swaps coming soon!
