Today’s post is all about the cards I received in my demonstrator swap for June! The theme for this month was a critter swap!

The first card is from Denise W – our swap organizer and one of my upline demonstrators! She chose the Turtle-y Cute suite of products and layered the card with strips of Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Shaded SPruce, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue with distressed edges for fun! She added Shades of Green Hexagons for embellishments and a DSP turtle cute out to complete this adorable card!

Lori V’s swap card features the Feathered Fun bird image sitting on a clever Everyday Arches die cut that resembles a swinging perch! these are mounted on a Cajun Craze embossed Exposed Brick background on a Pecan Pie card base – great color combination!

This next swap card is from Marie W and features the Choose Happy and Notes and Totes bundles on the Thoughtful Journey DSP – so cute!

Patty J used the Otterly Amazing Bundle for this sweet critter card, die cutting the DSP for a fast and easy card that packs a punch!

Carol S’s swap card uses the 2025-2027 Designer Series paper for the Beautiful Butterflies dies flitting above the Pressed Flowers embossing folder and the Strawberry Slush Faux Linen Ribbon. You probably cannot see it in the photographs but the Butterfly bodies are glittered with the Wink of Stella pen!
Love the sentiment using the hole punch assortment to string the ribbon through the circle die – so clever!

This last card is from Michelle L and features the Sunflower 3D embossing folder in Lost Lagoon with accents of Basic Beige and Basic White with Flat Antique Pearls!

These cards have a lot of subtle charm and loads of ideas – hopefully you saw something on one or more of these examples that inspired you to create some artwork of your very own – now go create – one stamp at a time!

may demonstrator swap cards

Time again for my monthly demonstrator swap cards – May was for all things new – new catalogs and new Online Exclusives.

The first card from Vickie G. starts with a Crumb Cake base embossed with the SO Swirly embossing folder. The Perennial Postage die creates a frame that encircles the focal point of multi colored background of Fresh Freesia, Darling Duckling, Cajun Craze and Strawberry Slush. The flowers from the Gallery Blooms stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored petals with the Wink of Stella.

Carol S’s swap card features the Florals in Bloom Suite. On a Secret Sea cardstock base, a small piece of DSP on the left hand side. The right side filled with stamped flowers and dies.
I love the word dies in this set! Such a bright, Spring card!

Lyn L’s swap card uses the Thoughtful Journeys DSP as the background and she stamped directly onto the DSP with the Peaceful Piers stamp set.
She created a fun surprise pop up on the inside of the card!

Lori V’s swap card features the Feathered Fun reversible stamp set embossed in White embossing powder and colored with Stampin’ Blends markers. She created the sparkly Azure Afternoon paper by painting Wink Of Stella directly onto the colored cardstock to add the extra slash of glitter!

This whimsical swap card using the new Along These Lines stamp set from the new 2025-2026 Annual catalog on Cloud Cover cardstock card base. She used the DSP from the Boho Vibes Suite Collection and a whimsical ribbon treatment along the middle of the DSP strip.

The next swap card was made by Maria W and inspired by a card done on Susancampfield.com, this gorgeous Beautiful Gallery Suite card is set on Basic Beige cardstock with Timid Tiger accents. I love the way the frame and the embossing folders line up – such a great detail!

The next swap card is a lovely z fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle by Robin C.
The extended Z fold features the hybrid embossing folder images of water in Misty Moonlight cardstock and the sky and clouds in the Cloud Cover cardstock, the boat in stamped in Misty Moonlight on Petunia Pop cardstock. There is some sweet stamping ont he inside and back of the card as well!

Veronica S’s swap card uses the beautiful dies from the Impressions Abloom Suite and this is a suite I do not owe and one of the bonuses of participating in Demonstrator swaps – getting beautiful samples from sets you do not have.
This lovely clean pallette of black and white with pops of Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush makes for a great card.
