Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

April 10, 2020

I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in. Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit. So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

I love this peek-a-boo bunny here! Yes; it's fussy cut. There aren't dies for it. She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper. I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool! See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here.

That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it! The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package.

I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring! Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!

The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies. The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square. This layout really highlights the main image.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial

June 29, 2026

There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

Save

This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

Save

Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

I also shared a video tutorial for this card and one more using this pretty bundle. Click on it below.

A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!

June 26, 2026

Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

Save

Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

Save

The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!
