Welcoming Woods sponged background

July 29, 2021

Here's one more card featuring the upcoming Welcoming Woods stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

I went for a colorful background here with Highland Heather, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight.

I kept this at an extremely simple layout. Sometimes I just look in my scrap basket of colors I want to use and figure out a layout with them. These cards frequently turn out to be my favorites!

Measurements:

White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White main image 3" X 4 1/4"
Black 3 3/4" X 2 1/4"
Calypso Coral 1 5/8" X 4 1/4"
Daffodil Delight strip 1/2" X 4"

I hope the cards I've shared using this Welcoming Woods stamp set have inspired you to add it to your list! We can order from the Holiday catalog starting Tuesday, August 3rd!

Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

Save

Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

Save

Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

September 16, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

Save

The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

Save

The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.
