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.  

The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.  

She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element.  The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.  

Her measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2" 
  • DSP  5 1/4" X 2 1/4" 
  • textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
  • inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8" 

 

The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper.  Isn't it fun!?!

I'll be back with the last set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!

  • Beautifully Happy; a perfect set for some quick cards


    I needed a bunch of thank you cards for online orders and quickly made this set of cards: 

    The pretty Beautifully Happy stamp set (Sale-a-Bration and free with a $100 order) is so easy to work with!  It has outline images AND coordinating 'fill in' images that make it super simple to add color where you want it.  And they're Distinktive images too!  This means they give multiple hues of color tones with one stamping.  And I love the greetings too.  

    I used the Good Things cards & envelopes for these cards. They were available last month for Paper Pumpkin subscribers, but they're sold out now.  I love using coordinating products!  I added a 3" X 5 1/2" piece of Design a Daydream Host DSP to each card.  I think the lattice look works wonderfully with this flower image. 

    The greetings are made with our Double Oval punch; white & Mossy Meadow.  You can see this pretty stamp set here. 

    Remember that if you order $100 this set is free!  And if you use a host code below you'll get a free package of Milky Dots in your thank you card.

  • Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers for fast pretty cards!


    I ran out of thank you cards for online orders and needed some made fast.  I reached for our pretty designer papers and made these 11 cards in less than an hour!  

    Each piece of designer paper is 3" X 5 1/2". I used Dainty Flowers Sale-a-Bration DSP and Awash in Beauty paper from the Annual catalog.

    From one sheet of 12 X 12" paper this card design gave me 8 card fronts!  They are adhered to the Good Things cards & envelopes. They are unavailable now, but they were an addon product for Paper Pumpkin subscribers in January.  *It pays to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get these great add-ons!  Get a pre-paid subscription here

    I had a bunch of white pre-cut & punched greeting labels and simply stamped the thank you on them (greeting from Thanks a Bunch SAB carrot set).  Then I grabbed more 'extra' items I had on my desk and embellished each card.  Some have ribbons, punched leaves or flowers and embellishments.  It was fun to add on these extras.

  • In the Country; which do you prefer? ‘Color’ or Black & White? Video & cool tip!


    Happy Valentine's Day!  

    I should be sharing a Valentine card today, but I sent them out to my family last week before I took photos! Sheesh! Here's one by Stampin' Up! using the Love for You bundle; you can see it on page 11 of the Spring Catalog.

      

    Here are a few more cards featuring the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 purchase in February.  See it here. 

    I shared multiple ways to use this set and options for coloring too.  I know many people do not want to color every bit of a scene like this. So I shared a variety of alternate card ideas like this one shown here.  

    On the colored version above I simply used my Blending Brushes with Granny Apple Green & Balmy Blue.  Simple but effective.  After coloring I cut the scene out with a Stitched Rectangle die.  I used the 5th from the largest for the scene and the 2nd from the largest for the outside of the White layer. 

    Here's another set of cards.  I used Blending Brushes for most of the color – Balmy Blue & Sahara Sand. I did add a bit of Dark Calypso Coral to a few areas with a Blends marker.  

    The greetings are from the Sending Support stamp set.  This set can be seen here and is also free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February of 2023.  

    For the greeting die-cut I used a die from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.  I changed the size of this die by cutting it once and then again to make it shorter.  I get a lot more use of my dies this way!

    Which do you prefer?  Color or no color?
