This Demonstrator Swap was holiday themed and the cards and ideas are lovely!

Hope they inspire you as much as they did me!

This first card for our September swap features the whimsical stamp set Long Time No See which is an Online Exclusive with a long necked llama and a weiner dog to name a few of the adorable images in this set! Denise W. our fearless swap leader combined Cheery Cobbler ink and cardstock, Basic Beige and Basic White cardstock and the FUN Need for Tweed DSP to create this super cute card!

The next sample is a 3D fun fold card made by Lori V and uses the Traditions of Christmas DSP and the Damask Designs embossing folder for a stand alone and stand OUT WOW card!
The back side is just as pretty!
Veronica S’s swap card used the Ornamental Christmas stamp set, the sentiment is a clever masking from the Holly Jolly stamp set and the background is the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder for a fabulous coordinated look!
The next stunning holiday card comes from Michelle L and used the Peace on Earth Suite of products including the Glimmer paper for the star and the embossing folder and dies from the suite!
Blue and silver is always a stunning holiday combo and Kathi D used these colors with the Sentimental Framing dies and the Merry Christmas single stamp set heat embossed in Silver WOW powder!
Simple and elegant!
this fun shape card uses the Everyday Arches die set and the Joys of Joy bundle with a So Swirly background for a super fun card from Marie W.
Patty J sent a Swap card using the Traditions of Christmas DSP set on Pretty in Pink cardstock for a lovely non traditional Christmas card!
Don’t forget you can always decorate the Basic White envelopes too and Carol S’s swap card did just that coordinating her Pine Tree Trimmings tree image in Old Olive ink to match her lovely card!
This card from our August swap arrived after my last Swap post – this great fun fold from Robin C uses the gorgeous Seasons of Elegance DSP to enhance this angled tri fold fun fold card!
And my last swap card to inspire you is a simply stamped A Child is Born stamped image in Night of Navy ink on Cloud Cover cardstock with the Gorgeous Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon under the sentiment piece from Kristen B!
This ribbon is awesome and does not show well online so glad I got to see it in person – it will be on my next order!

Hope these cards inspired your holiday card ideas! What will you be getting?
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – real red, old olive and pool party – swing door fun fold

more color mondays – real red, old olive and pool party – swing door fun fold

by | Oct 27, 2025 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, new catalog, techniques

Easy Christmas cards that look elegant are the best – don’t you think? I make a lot of Christmas cards to send out to people and I want them to look beautiful but be able to put many together in the shortest amount of time.

That being said – if you send out Christmas cards NOW is the time to start designing and ordering your supplies so you are not rushed to make and send them on time!

This fun fold attaches the DSP to a shorter piece of cardstock so it swings open and you can see both sides of the cardstock! I saw this card from a number of demonstrators and there was no name for it so I am naming mine a swing door fun fold card because that is what it reminds me of!

Measurements:
BASE: Old Olive CS: 5 1/2″ x 6″
scored at 4 1/4″, 1″ x 5 1/2″ or 5 1/4″, scraps
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 3″ x 5 1/2″
Pool Party CS: scrap for die circle

Score the base at 4 1/4″ – place the shorter panel on the right-hand side. Adhere the Basic White layer on the inside of the card.
Cut the Traditions of Christmas DSP to 3″ x 12″ then cut to 5 1/2″ there will be a 1″ x 3″ left over from cutting two 5 1/2″ pieces. Adhere that to the top left-hand corner of the Basic White layer.
Turn the Dsp to the side you want on the inside and place a thin bead of glue down the right-hand side edge. Flip it over and glue to the left-hand edge of the small panel. Match up the right-hand top and bottom corners with the top and bottom edges of the back of the card.
Emboss the 1″ piece and attach to the front Old Olive panel. You choose if you want it to be the full length as shown here or 5 1/4″ length with a border as the final card shows.
Die cut a small circle from the Stylish Shapes die set.

Stamp the Have a Happy on a Old Olive 1/4″ strip and banner punch this (this is an upcoming Online Exclusive punch that is in the Banner Sayings bundle! – stay tuned to see it November 1st!)

Stamp the Christmas from Holly Jolly Stamp set in Old Olive ink on Old Olive cardstock.

Adhere the Christmas layer on the Pool Party circle and adhere the banner diagonally above the Christmas layer on the Pool Party circle.

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of all the components of the sentiment focal point.
Attach to the card in the center.

Add some gold embellishments to the card to enhance the gold foil and you have a lovely easily reproduced Christmas card!

Are you going to send some of your people a special handmade Christmas card this year? I am available to help you design and order your supplies if you need assistance – just call or text me!

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

Happy Stampin’

pleated prism fun fold

pleated prism fun fold

by | Oct 15, 2025 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, masculine cards, my favorites, techniques

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!

Try this easy fun fold today with your own stamping stash and send me a picture of what you create! Now go and make some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
