august demonstrator swap cards

I always love these Demonstrator Swap card posts because I get to show you all so many lovely projects and ideas! My group of friends and demonstrators that faithfully swap almost every month are some of the sweetest and most creative people and I LOVE getting to show off their work to you!

Today’s first card uses the Mosaic Garden Suite of products from the NEW September to December catalog and Carol S. uses the Softly Woven 3D EF in Hydrangea Hue CS, the Mosaic Garden DSP, the Tile Garden Bundle.

Kathi D made a sweet card using the Velvet Meadows DSP and the Sweet Words and Labels Bundle.
Kathi D. made another card for last month’s card using the Winter Adventure bundle and the Whispering Woods DSP with a very cool explosion fun fold.
This great masculine card from Jeanna T. features the Wrapped Greenery Bundle and the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP.
Sharon S. made a fun fold card called the secret message slider which I detailed on my January 16th, 2026 blog post if you want to look back to see how this is made! She used the Violet Dreams DSP, the Shimmering Stripes Specialty paper and the Thinking of You bundle in hues of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather!
Denise’s swap card uses the beautiful new Sunflower Fields DSP and the Radient Foils Specialty Paper with the Radiant Sunflowers bundle!
My last card to show you is a stunner from Lori V. but I do not know the official fun fold name it cobines the mechanics of a bendy card and an M fold card so I am calling it the M Fold Bendy card – ingenious right? LOL!!! Regardless of what you call it it is gorgeous! Using the Product GIVE BACK – if you purchase this DSP called Whispering Woods Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to charities that spread holiday cheer! You can make beautiful cards and give back – HOW GREAT IS THAT!!

I have multiple views of this fun fold below because you just have to see it from all angles – I will be doing my own version soon! Stay Tuned!

It folds flat like a regular card but the edges flip out and the layer on the front bends outward! The sentiment comes from the Soiree Salutations stamp set.

I hope all of these great cards brought you some awesome inspiration for the upcoming holiday season full of cards and gifts and possibilities!

Now it’s your turn to create some holiday magic – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
