Sweet & Simple Treat pouch with free project sheet & video

February 16, 2026

I shared this neat treat pouch on last week’s Live video. It’s super simple and requires a 6″ X 12″ sheet of designer paper.

I made one before and one during the video. The left pouch above features the Made with Love designer paper. The right one uses the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer series paper.

What I like about this is there’s no special measuring; just score on the lines on the template in the project sheet seen below. The belly band makes closure easy and you can decorate the front in any way you’d like. It’s 1 1/4″ X 10 1/2″. Watch the video to see how I form it around the pouch. There’s no need to score it; just bend at the folds leaving a bit of room for sliding it off.

I used the 1 3/4″ circle punch and the To the Point punch. The greetings are from the Words of Beauty bundle seen here. The little heart punch is retired.

I created a free project sheet with template for you. Click here to download it or print it.

Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite

December 19, 2024

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison.

Save

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

December 18, 2024

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

Save

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.

Stunning Marbled Elegance swap cards

December 17, 2024

Today I'm sharing some card swaps I received from a mail out swap I participated in. These cards all feature the Marbled Elegance suite seen online here.

First up is a pretty card made by my friend Kelly Acheson:

Save

She added a bunch of gold elements plus a fussy cut 'xoxo' greeting. She heat embossed the greeting, used Gold Foil for her die-cut heart and DSP layer plus the new Twisted Gold thread and Gold Adhesive-backed Hearts. Whew!

~~~

This next card was created by another sweet friend from Minnesota, Kay Kalthoff.

Save

She used the Classic Wedding bundle seen here. So cute! Love the car with the 'just married' banner added to the back.

~~~

Next is a beautiful card made by another Minnesota friend; Sandy Carlson.

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with Gold & white. She used two of the heart dies in the bundle plus textured the White square die-cut with the So Swirly embossing folder. I love banners and adding that 2" banner on the left adds a good amount of this Marbled Elegance DSP without overpowering the card.

~~~

Lastly we have a gorgeous card made by my friend Ruth Bingle from Arkansas. We love to hang out together on our SU trips. She's a doll!

Save

Her card has a center flap opening. I didn't get a photo of the inside though. She used the Metal plate folder for her embossed strips on the side. Isn't that gold textured heart die-cut gorgeous!?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.
