These pretty cards are the last of the Monochromatic Team swaps

August 22, 2025

I’ve been sharing our Team swaps this week that all feature a Monochromatic theme. This means the colors should include hues of similar colors.

First is a pretty and soothing card made by Jacki.

She used the Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Her colors include Very Vanilla with Crumb Cake. Her greeting is from the stamp set seen here.

I love how the grass image repeats itself on the Vanilla layer in the background.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, 3″ X 4 1/4″
Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″, 2 3/4″ X 4″

Next is a pretty wedding or anniversary card made by Marla.

She used the Lifetime of Love stamp set seen here and the coordinating dies seen here. I love how these delicate dies inlay so perfectly.

Her colors include Navy, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake & White. She also used a new embossing folder called Jolly Holly Hybrid seen here. These leaves allow her to lift them a bit to add more dimension.

The Designer paper is 2 5/8″ wide and is the Country Lace pack and is discounted and on the Last Chance list now. See it here.

And lastly is this soft & pretty card made by Paula.

Her card features the blue tones of Blueberry Bushel with Azure Afternoon. Her stamp sets are Elements of Text seen here and Textured Notes seen here. The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set seen here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the beautiful Monochromatic swaps this week. I have a super talented team!

Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!

April 9, 2025

I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop. They're filled with wood accents and textures.

Save

I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.

It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down.

Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April.

Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!

Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog

April 8, 2025

Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well. Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.

I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products. Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!

Save

So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot. The price change goes into effect in early May. Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.

Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay! It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits

April 7, 2025

I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit.

Save

I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
a Mossy Meadow layer
Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems

Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.

Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive – skipping or adding an extra.

Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin:

And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here. This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits!
