2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs

Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more. 

The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A.  This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4".  The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card.  The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4". 

Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies.  Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.  

She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

  • Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

    The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

    Winter Meadow silver Save

    I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"

    Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.

    Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.

    I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

    Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!

    The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes.  I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.  

    This one is actually a fun fold card.  It sure doesn't look like it though!

    Meandering Meadow surprise accordion Save

    I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:

    See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here?  There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers.  It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

    I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper.  It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate.  I kept mine quite simple. 

    I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere.  See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.

    You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
