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!

  • Create this eye-catching scene with ink and blending brushes; video tutorial too!


    Here's another card I created on last week's video. Do you love colorful scenes too? 

    Here I used Cloud Cover cardstock for my base; scored it an extra time to create a flap near the center. This is a great way to add the main element of your card.  In this case it's a stamped and colored tree scene on our new Party Banner dies.  

    I found the Peaceful Pier stamp set seen here to be perfect for my scenes. It's a great line-art set you don't have to color in, as you can see in my example.

    I am now adding my project sheets to my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group the same day I share the live video.  Click here to join the group. 

    I used these inks for blending; from bottom to top – Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Cloud Cover. Blending brushes make it easy to add ink smoothly. But there are tricks to it!  

    Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes.  I hope you watch it!

  • How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.  

    I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.  

    I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes.  I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky. 

    I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.  

    After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I love the dimension this gives to the card scene.

  • Celebratory Sips card kit to go with PDF tutorial option & exclusive video!


    Here's my newest pre-cut card kit to go – featuring the Celebratory Sips designer series paper.  I love that this paper is so unique; something we haven't had before. 

    There are 10 cards in this kit; most are fun fold layouts too.  This paper was super fun to play with.  I love how the cards turned out!  

    The kit includes 1/2 pkg of the Celebratory Sips DSP (6" X 12), a share of both 1/8" gold trim and Low-profile gems.  Plus you get the pdf tutorial free!  It also includes an exclusive video tutorial. 

    This kit will be ailed out at the end of June;  reserve your Celebratory Sips pre-cut card kit to go here.  

    Or choose the PDF tutorial here for $16. 

    I also added two other new kits to my shop too.  You can save on shipping and get more for your $$ when you purchase more than one kit. See them all here. 

    First is the Painted Petals 12 card kit – created with a former Paper Pumpkin kit but jazzed up with extra cards & product. See it here. 

    Next is the Daisy Daydream 12 card kit – also created with a previous Paper Pumpkin kit – I changed up the cards, added 3 extra cards, gems & ribbon added. See it here.
