Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!


I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP

My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

**All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.

    Kim made this amazing card for our April Team swap:

    She combined new and current products for this beautiful card cased from Karen Hadler. That beautiful textured flower is from an upcoming bundle called Opulent Oasis. It includes a new die that textures; it’s called Textured Impression dies. I’ll share more details on this new product soon. It will be released on May 5th in the 2026 May-August catalog.

    The designer paper is called Lovely & Beautiful and can be seen here. The pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies.
    Here’s how it looks once opened:

    So many layers!! The card stock colors include Old Olive, Petal Pink and Fresh Freesia.

    Measurements:

    – Olive card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″, second piece – 9″ X 3 34″ scored at 3″ & 6″

  • Three pretty swap cards with great layouts


    Our Team swap theme was nature or animals this month. I’m sharing three pretty cards I think you’ll want to case.

    First is a card made by Jonna who is featuring the Nature’s Symphony suite.

    She used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and the Nature’s Walk designer paper here. I love the layout so much! Adding your greeting strip across the front is a fantastic way to break up the large layers.
    Her colors include Pretty Peacock and White.

    Measurements are as follows:

    – Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    – Pretty Peacock large layer 5 3/8″ X 4 3/8″, small layer 3″ X 4 1/4″, strip 4 1/8″ X 1″, inside is 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
    – White 2 3/4″ X 4″, inside 4″ X 5 1/4″
    – DSP 4″ X 5 1/4″

    Inks used: Pretty Peacock and White Craft ink.

    The next card is made by Tracey who used a new to me’ tearing technique on her pretty card:

    She used the Floral Charm designer paper. Actually it’s just one sheet and measured 3″ X 4″ before she tore it. The technique she used is called ‘Rip & Flip’. You tear the lower half off and flip it to reveal the other side. Slide the torn piece under the upper portion to hide the ‘cut’ side. So cool!

    Look at the ribbon above the greeting circle. She formed loops of Berry Burst 1/4″ shiny ribbon and adhered it underneath the flowers and greeting. So smart and unique!
    The colored and die-cut flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora bundle seen here.

    Measurements:

    – Pretty Peacock card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    – Berry Burst 4 1/4″ X 3 1/4″
    – DSP 4″ X 3″
    – White circle die-cut

    Lastly is Candy’s card featuring the Nature’s Symphony stamp set with a neat technique:

    She cased this technique from Kim Quade. She created a window with the Stylish Shapes dies and another piece of paper. She used Blending Brushes inside the window for the soft, multicolored look and stamped the leaves before removing her mask.

    Her ink colors include Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Fresh Freesia. She stamped the images with Secret Sea. Beautifully done!

    I’ll share more swap cards tomorrow.
