Today is all about working smarter not harde!

Let’s make two cards for the price of one!

The gorgeous background die from the Snowflake Kisses bundle is the perfect way to get two cards with little extra effort!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: (2) 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″
Azure Afternoon CS: scraps for cutting
sentiment piece and snowflakes

Die cut the round circle die and the three larger snowflakes and the cluster of smaller snowflakes from the Azure Afternoon scraps.

Die cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the background snowflake die.

Hold or temporarily adhere the background snowflake die to a Basic White card front.

Using light pressure as to not bend the die we are using as a mask, brush with Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush over the entire surface of the mask and the card front.

You will create the base for card #2 and color the die to attach to Card #1 at the same time!

Adhere the die to card #1 Basic White card base.
Stamp in Azure Afternoon ink Be Warm and Well sentiment to the center of the Azure Afternoon circle die.

Pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the center opening of the die.

Adhere the 4 snowflakes from the small snowflake die cluster to the centers of some of the snowflakes in the background die.
Add silver embellishments to the card front such as Drusy Adhesive-Backed embellishments.
Stamp sending warm hugs in the center of card #2 and add the three larger Azure Afternoon snowflake dies around the sentiment.
Adhere three pearls like the Antique pearls currently available or look forward to these gorgeous sneak peak Pearls of Beauty which are available November 1st which will coordinate with the upcoming Brushed with Beauty suite!

With little more effort than making the first card you get the second BONUS card too!
Try this technique whenever you decide to color your large dies and use them as a mask to make a background for a second card!

Hope you try this technique soon and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

pleated prism fun fold

pleated prism fun fold

Inspiration can come from anywhere!

I often look at Pinterest, other demonstrators work and websites and Facebook and Instagram reels – this card popped up on my Pinterest board from a sideline demonstrator named Susan C. – thanks for the inspiration!

This card is called a pleated prism fun fold and starts with a 4″ square of DSP – grab one from your stash and follow along with me!

Measurements:
BASE: Old Olive CS: 4 1/4″ x 11 scored at 4 1/4″
scraps for two die cuts
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and (2) 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for snowflake dies
DSP: 4″ x 4″

Emboss the three Basic White layers in the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder.
Score the DSP piece at 2″ and then mark with a pencil at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, and 3 1/4″ on both the top and bottom of the DSP piece.

Score from the top mark at 3/4″ to the bottom mark at 3 1/4″.

Score from the top mark at 1 1/2″ to the bottom 2 1/2″ mark on the bottom.

Score from the top 2 1/2″ mark to the bottom 1 1/2″ mark.

Score from the top 3 1/4″ mark to the 3/4″ bottom mark.

Fold the score lines into a Valley-Mountain-Valley-Mountain-Valley so that the first middle and last scores are valley folds and the second and fourth lines are mountain folds. Use a bone folder to make all of the score lines crisp.

Using the Stampin’ Seal + and placing the tip of the fold on the center of the score line for the card base – run a line of tape from the Stampin’ Seal + on the outside flat edge opposite to the pointed edge – adhere the flat outside edge to the inside front of the card base.
Run a line of tape down the outside flat edge of the pleated prism DSP piece and close the back of the card base over the DSP mechanism. Rub on the outside of the card over where the tape is adhered to the card to secure the pleated prism DSP piece.
Take a scrap of Old Olive CS and stamp a sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set and die cut with the Textured Notes dies.

Die cut the line of small snowflakes from the Snowflake Kisses die set and place three Glue Dots on the die cut around the sentiment and adhere the snowflakes.

Take a second scrap of Old Olive and die cut the second largest square die from the Stylish Shapes die set and add some snowflake dies to the top corner.

Adhere the two 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed layers on either side of the pleated prism DSP piece.

Adhere the Old Olive square die cut to the right hand side for a place to write.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed Basic White layer to the card front and pop up the Old Olive sentiment die piece in the center.
Add three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the outside of the card to finish it off with a little holiday sparkle!

Try this easy fun fold with your stash and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

august 2025 swap cards

by | Oct 8, 2025 | card samples, card swap, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, masculine cards, new catalog, online exclusives, techniques

Our August Demonstrator Swap cards are all in and they all feature new stamp collections from the September to December 2025 mini catalog and the newly released Online Exclusives that are Fall and Holiday themed!

And what gorgeous samples and ideas do I have to show you today!

My first swap card comes from CarrollAnn A. and uses the new Amber Autumn Bundle. It contains a lovely large die with a card size cut out of Fall Leaves – she die cut that in Crushed Curry and colored around the edges with Shaded Spruce ink and a blending brush and adhered it to a Pumpkin Pie base. She colored the pumpkin and squash focal piece with Stampin’ Blends markers and popped it and the sentiment up on Stampin’ Dimensionals for a great Fall wishes card.

Ginger S’s swap card features the Fright Night bundle embossed and cut out on Timid Tiger CS and Basic Black CS. The image is heat embossed in black embossing powder for extra depth and dimension! This fun fold front flap card uses the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series paper and lots of fun extras – like the caldron cut out from the DSP!
Tractor and Co. Bundle was used to make Patty J’s swap card. The tractor is stamped and set on the Thoughtful journeys 6″ x 6″ DSP for a fabulous Fall scene.
My next demonstrator swap card is from My upline Denise W. and she used the Happy Place mini catalog stamp set.

She made a homemade rainbow pad using a wet wipe and Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, and Balmy Blue ink refills to ink up the Happy Stamp!

She used Azure Afternoon, Darling Duckling and Basic White cardstock, the So Swirly embossing folder and the Darling Duckling In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP for the “For You” sentiment strip.

My last Fall swap card came from Kathi D and features the Gathering Together Suite collection of products including the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series paper and great large fall foliage dies.
Judith P’s swap card is a gatefold fun fold card using the Jars of Joy bundle and the Traditions of Christmas DSP.
The Peaceful Garden Suite was used by Marie W and features a clever partial cut die in the center to make a small lift up card on a 1/4 sheet sized base!

The small branch that the dove is carrying is die cut from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper and the soft Cloud Cover layer is embossed with the coordinating Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder!

The Peaceful Garden Suite was used by Marie W and features a clever partial cut die in the center to make a small lift up card on a 1/4 sheet sized base!
Carol S’s Traditional Labels swap card is stunning in it’s traditional Red and Green dies that pop on the Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder background in Basic White cardstock!
And my last sample is a swap card from Lori V featuring the Peaceful Garden Suite of products in gold foil with a coordinating heat embossed Peace on Earth in the center. The background is complimented with the gorgeous Seasons of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper and Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon!
Hope these demonstrator swap cards inspired you – now is the time to start those Christmas cards! It is so much nicer to receive a handmade card than a store bought one because it takes time and effort. For that reason it’s good to start early!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

The barn door fun fold is one of the easiest fun fold cards to make – seriously – I know I say that cards are easy ALOT but this one is two cuts from a standard card base and then decorate!

Measurements:
BASE: Gorgeous Grape CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, 2″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 2″ x 5 1/8″
Basic Black CS: 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

Cut the card base on the left-hand side of the score line at 2 1/4″ down the short side of the cardstock and cut all the way to the score line.
Then cut from the top of the score line down to the 2 1/4″ cut line. You will end up with a “barn door” hinged front flap on the card base.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card base.
Then adhere the DSP to the top of the Basic White layer leaving an even border on the top and sides.
Die cut the small tree line from the Basic Black layer.

Stamp the Sentiment in Berry Burst ink in the center of the 2 ” x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer.

Adhere to the front flap of the card.

Adhere the Basic Black tree die cut to the top of the white front layer.

Place the Frosted Iridescent Dots from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection around the sentiment on the card front and you are finished with this easy WOW card!

scrap for snowflake die

Whenever I am stamping a larger format stamp image I turn it stamp side up and place the ink pad directly on the stamp image.
I think this gives you better coverage and control as you can see where you are inking!
I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snowy Delights stamp set off the layer above and below – this creates the illusion of expanse!
I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #1 and Balmy Blue ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #2 and Lost Lagoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes over the Balmy Blue ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #4 and Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes and the empty white space beside the two partial snowflakes.
Using the cluster of smaller snowflakes stamp image in Blueberry Bushel ink I stamped in between the two partial large snowflakes to add depth and texture.
Taking the extra 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer I stamped the large snowflake image off the bottom of the page in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I stamped the inside sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and blended the bottom edge with a blending brush and Blueberry Bushel ink for added color and texture.

Stamp the outside sentiment to the 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip, add the small snowflake stamp to the left-hand edge and blend the edges with a blending brush.

Adhere this layer to the inside of the card base.
Add the large snowflake die to the upper partial snowflake image – matching the die with the image and adhere with Multipurpose Glue.
Turn the layer over to the backside and cut the die that is hanging over the edge off.
Adhere this layer to the card front.
Pop up the sentiment strip on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the bottom third of the card front.
Add the new Frosted Iridescent Dots in the Blue color to the card front to finish off this lovely Wintery card in a soft coordinating style.

Try your hand at some masking today and go create some artwork of your very own – one mask- one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

This is one of the products we could pre-order and this one was featured in a demonstrator exclusive craft day a few weeks back!

This is a card I designed for the Christmas in July Demonstrator Swap! It features the Peace on Earth bundle along with the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder and a fun technique.

Using a direct to paper technique rub Versamark ink onto the edges of the embossed layer.
Using the brush that comes in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit (#159971) $27.00 dip the brush into the Silver embossing powder and then tap the powder from the brush onto the versamark ink covered paper. Heat with the Heat Tool until the embossing powder melts.
