Today I’m sharing my 3D Swap from our March Candy Hearts team meeting, which you can read about here. It’s really super simple. I used the Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits to make the box, and added a vellum butterfly. That’s it! Well, other than filling them with chocolates. Aren’t they pretty? They look like the butterflies are about to fly away with them.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 6″ x 12″
- Vellum card stock (CS) to 3-1/2″ wide strips
- cut each die-cut butterfly in half, up through the body*
Die cut using the Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits:
- DSP cut with the box die (2 per box)
Die cut using the Butterflies Thinlits:
- *butterflies from Vellum – one per box
Assembled the box:
- two box pieces glued together at the bottom
- glued a butterfly half on each side of the slot, as shown – make sure this part gets closed last
- close three sides of the box, fill with goodies, then close the fourth part with the butterfly

Gorgeous. Stunning. Amazing. You know, all those good words. They’re what I use to describe the Succulent Garden Suite of products in the 2017 Occasions Catalog (pages 20-21.) Even the word Succulent sounds so rich and beautiful. I used the Oh So Succulent stamp set and the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create today’s card. It was my swap card at a team meeting I attended Saturday. You can see more of the team swaps here. Scroll down to bottom of today’s post to see all the products in this suite.
Here’s what I made:
The Tip Top Taupe looks a bit darker in this photo that in real life.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then it scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Tip Top Taupe CS to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ (middle layer)
- Succulent Garden DSP to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (top layer)
- Tip Top Taupe CS big enough for the die cut oval
- Whisper White CS big enough for the die cut oval
- small piece Whisper White CS big enough for the die cut banner
- NOTE – the last two pieces of Whisper White CS can be either the regular CS or the thick CS, whichever you have on hand. I used the regular to keep down the thickness.
Stamped with the Banners for You stamp set:
- banner outline in Tip Top Taupe ink onto small piece of Whisper White CS
Stamped with the Oh So Succulent stamp set:
- sentiment in Mint Macaron ink onto the already stamped banner – curve the photopolymer stamp to fit the banner shape
- flower outline in Tip Top Taupe ink onto Whisper White CS
- solid flower in Mint Macaron ink onto the already stamped flower outline
Die cut using the Bunch of Banners Framelits:
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
- stitched oval from the Whisper White CS, with the stamped flower in the upper half
Die cut using the Layering Oval Framelits:
- scalloped oval from Tip Tip Taupe CS
Assembled the card:
- Whisper White oval glued onto the Tip Tip Taupe oval
- Tip Top Taupe oval glued onto the DSP layer
- DSP layer glued onto the Tip Top Taupe layer
- Tip Top Taupe layer glued onto the Whisper White card base
- lastly the banner adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the DSP and the lower half of the Whisper White oval

Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator extraordinaire Pam Morris had a team meeting at her parents’ Subway restaurant Saturday, and it was so much fun! Thanks again to her mom, Carol, for graciously hosting (tolerating) us! I love love love it when I can get together with other SU Demos, and this is a particularly fantastic group of people. And talented, too! (I’m not biased at all.) Today I’m sharing the team swaps with you. Prepare to be impressed!
If you see a little candy machine full of hearts next to someone’s name, that means they are a member of my team, the Candy Hearts! I’ll post my swap card tomorrow, so be sure to check it out.
Ferrero Rocher boxes were very popular at the meeting on Saturday. This Make & Take was super easy to make with the Envelope Punch Board, a 1/4″ Circle Punch, and a straw! (The 1/4″ punch is on Clearance, so get it NOW!)
Now through March 31, you will earn a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration catalog for each $50 you spend on an order. See the items you can earn here and here.

Today’s guest stamper is Lonita Barron, an honorary member of my Candy Hearts team. Lonita has been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for several years, and has recently moved to the Atlanta area from Kentucky. And she has mad skills when it comes to card making! Take a look at the card she made for the June swap.
The card base is Tip Top Taupe card stock with a layer of Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper. The swirls are cut with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies from Night of Navy, Watermelon Wonder, and Pool Party card stock. The sentiment from the Tin of Cards stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy onto Pool Party card stock. The DSP and the sentiment are sponged around the edges with Night of Navy ink.
Thanks to Lonita for allowing me to share her card with you today!

I’m excited to share this card with you today. It was made by Tamara Burton, a member of my Candy Hearts team. It was her swap card at our June team meeting. Tamara has enjoyed scrapbooking for years, then added making cards to her repertoire. Her paper crafting skills are amazing!
Oh dear, I just noticed I misspelled her name in the watermark on the above photo. It’s Tamara. not Tamata! So sorry, Tamara!
Why are cards for guys so hard to make? We all struggle with them. Maybe it’s because most paper crafting products are more feminine, with lots of florals and the like. Maybe it’s because most paper crafters are women. Whatever the reason, we always need ideas.
Tamara used the new By the Shore Designer Series Paper to create this card that’s perfect for any guy.
When you first look at this DSP you might think about cute kid cards, or summery/beachy cards. But Tamara saw past that and used the multi-color striped pattern for a guy’s “shirt.” Coordinating card stock completes the look with a bow tie and buttons. Brilliant!
The Rose Wonder stamp set may seem very feminine, but the script Thank You is perfect for this manly card.
Thanks to Tamara for allowing me to share her card with you today!
