Today’s blog post is the accumulation of a couple different swaps, a potluck swap from November and an early bird swap for the new catalogs from December.

This first card uses the returning DSP in the annual catalog called Winter Meadow in a book bind fun fold and the Layering Leaves bundle from Carol S.

This next card from the November swap and Denise W uses the You are Beautiful stamp set and the Frames and Flowers DSP. This offset gate fold is scored at 1 1/4″ and fold the other side in tight using a bone folder. The modern label punch was used for the sentiment.

Robyn M’s card features the Sweet Pea stamp set and a masked circle to highlight the cutest image in the center of the card.

Marie W’s pretty in pink card uses the Pocket Thoughts bundle. The bundle creates a fun pocket and secret message!

This Shaded Spruce card from Susan W. features the Planted Paradise and Wonderful thoughts stamp set and Full of Life DSP, Fern Embossing folder and the Everyday Details Dies.

Judi M’s November swap card uses a new Online Exclusives Otterly Awesome suite in this Circle Wreath card fun fold design.

Andrea U’s Nov swap card uses the Winter Meadow fun fold on Basic Gray cardstock.

December’s early bird swap uses new products from the two new catalogs – Sale-a-bration and January to April 2025.

Sale-a-bration is a time to be able to earn FREE products – this card uses the 6″ x 6″ DSP Toadstool Gardens and the Terrific Toadstools bundle.

This early bird swap from Denise W. features the FREE Friendly Seagulls stamp set and the Timeless Plaid DSP from the new mini in this offset gate fold card.

Well August swap cards have arrived and they are full of ideas and Fall and Christmas colors and delight! I cannot wait to share all the creativity from my creative upline, sidelines and downline demonstrators!

This first card comes from Marcy W and features the Warms My Heart stamp set on Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Basic White cardstock, Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP strips and the Pinewood planks embossing folder. It is hard to see the little embellishments but they are called Clear Ribboned Adhesive-backed Dots and when you look through the clear resin there are black criss cross patterns below – they are VERY COOL!

The next swap card comes from Robin C and uses the Regal Winter Suite collection of products. The suite contains the Regal Flora stamp set. and coordinating dies set, Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots in four coordinating colors, a specialty DSP called Regal Distressed Patterns in Gold foil, and a DSP set of gorgeous floral paper called Regal Winter 12″ x 12″ DSP plus a Blackberry Bliss and Gold Textured Ribbon and Robin uses many of these products on her lovely card!

Lyn L’s swap card features the Reindeer Days 12″ x 12″ DSP and the Real Red and White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints as a festive accent!

Marie W’s swap card uses Sheperd’s care stamp set on a Twisted Easel fun fold card. She used Stampin’ Blends in Pool Party, Wild Wheat, Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight to color the image!

This swap card from Kathi D features many of the products in the Wildly Flowering Suite Collection from the annual catalog. The paper in it’s muted toned is soft and luxorious and the dies set features interlocking framed sentiment pieces and lovely flowering stamped images.

Susan W’s swap card uses the Caring Leaves and Stylish Shapes die set in hues of Cajun Craze, Old Olive and Wild Wheat.
She heat embossed the leaf veins and two step stamped the inside of the leaves with the Old Olive and Cajun Craze to make a lovely Fall card!

Denise W’s swap card uses a standard card scored at 1″ and bent back on itself to create a playful alternative to a standard card. She used the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set and the Nests of Winter Suite of Products including the Nests of Winter DSP for a beautiful thank you card!

Veronica’s Christmas card for our swap comes from the Reindeer Days Suite collection and uses the new Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder on Real Red cardstock!

Judy P’s swap card used the Autumn Leaves for the sentiment for her lovely Fall card. The images are from the Online Exclusive image only set called Scenic Pumpkin Patch.

Lori V’s center step fun fold swap card sparkles with the new Festive Glimmer paper on the inside step of the card and the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set on the center step! The sentiment die is from the Peaceful Seasons die set which are all part of the Seasons of Elegance suite collection!

This swap card from my downline Robyn M uses a direct to paper technique by swiping Balmy Blue ink pad directly across a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White card stock layer. She stamped the home and tree images from the new Yuletide Village stamp set from the 2024 September to December mini!

This swap card from Carol S features the Decorative Trees and Falling Snow stamp sets, Wineer Meadow DSP, Decorative Trees and Christmas Labels dies and the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

early bird swaps arrive

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 24, 2024 | card samples, card swap, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, fun fold, new catalog, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper, techniques

Every month I find a new inspiration to share with you from my upline and sideline swap group! Last week I shared my own versions of the Twisted Book Bind Easel card and making your own Designer Series paper as a background for a card – you will find the inspiration card below and so much more. All these cards came from a December Early Bird new catalog swap! Enjoy!

This first swap card was designed Jeanna T and uses the Perennial Lavender DSP from the new mini catalog and the Jungle Pals Sale-a-bration offers both the stamp set in Level One and the coordinating dies set in Level Two!

Carol S’s swap card features the Sale-a-bration Level Two Softly Sophisticated Bundle in shades of Boho Blue, Calypso Coral and White with Flight and Airy Sale-a-bration Level One DSP.

This next swap card is full of whimsy combining the Cutest Cows Bundle and the Sunny Days Sale-a-bration Level One DSP designed by Lyn L.

Veronica’s adorable Let’s Chat card is from a new set in the 2024 January to April Mini Catalog and is a sweet card you could send to any friends or family!

Another stamp set full of whimsy is the Submarine Life and our swap leader Denise W sent this cute card in hues of Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist! I love how the Iridescent Adhesive Dots look like bubbles in the water!

Jennie T’s swap card uses the new Enduring Beauty bundle with stamps, dies and coordinating mask for easy coloring!

The swap card below features the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle from the mini catalog and the Flight and Airy DSP from the Sale-a-bration catalog for a sleek and sophisticated sympathy card.

Kathi D’s swap card features the Flight and Airy DSP as well with the Layered Florals 3D as her background on a Boho Blue card base.

Maria W shared a paper saving tip with this Bee Mine Suite Collection swap card! She die cut the Sweet Sorbet die from her layer and covered it with DSP – saves paper and makes the card lighter when you are adding many layers, she also cut another die from the Scalloped Contours die set from the black to use for a future card! So smart and thanks for sharing that tip – I do that too!

The last swap card for this swap session comes from Beth R. and she used the Watercolor Melon Sale-a-bration Level One stamp set for a Twisted Easel Bookfold card – I recreated this one for the January 12th, 2024 blog post with the Ice Cream Swirl bundle! I love all the extra details she put into the card to step it up! Just Kiddin’ DSP, Basics 3D Embossing Folder trio and she used a Stampin’ Spritzer on the whole watermelon after she first stamped off to give it an even more watercolor look!

Now it’s time for you to pull out your supplies and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
