2nd set of my Team’s awesome masculine swap cards


Yesterday I shared 4 of my Flowerbug's Team manly card ideas for our July card swap.  Today I have three more.  I'm so proud of them; it's obvious they really did their best to make incredible swaps.  

Today's first card was made by Candy. She used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set & Grassy Grove bundle seen here.   

Her colors include Soft Suede & Mossy Meadow.  Here are some tips on how she achieved this amazing card:

  1. Die-cut the tree & grass silhouette from White CS using the Grove dies. Trim to 5" X 3 3/4". 
  2. Stamp the bear on the background White layer (51/4" X 4")
  3. Stamp the grass image on the bottom of the die-cut.  
  4. Use the trio of trees image to stamp all over the 'foiliage' area of the die-cut using Mossy Meadow ink, stamping 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of ink.  
  5. Use a blending brush to add more green as needed. 
  6. Sponge color to the edges of all layers. 
  7. Distress the edges with the side of your scissors. 
  8. Use a Soft Suede Blends marker to color the trunks.  
  9. Adhere the die-cut over the bear image. Add to the card base. 
  10. Stamp & add the greeting layer. 

Amazing, right?!!  So proud of you Candy!  

 

Next is another incredibly detailed card made by Roxann.  She used the Beauty of Friendship stamp set seen here. 

I love her corner details but the layer of vellum that softens her stamped trees background is amazing!  It gives an ethereal or foggy feel to the scene.  She used Mossy Meadow with Early Espresso ink & card stock.  

I love the triple tag detail on her greeting.  I believe that is from the Mini Pocket Envelope dies.  Such a unique & special card. 

 

Lastly for today is a pretty scenic card made by Deloris.  She used the Grassy Grove  bundle seen here.

Her colors include Old Olive, Soft Suede, White and a bit of blue for her sky.  I believe she used Blending Brushes for that soft background.  

Here's what's included in the Grassy Grove bundle.  

There are a lot of die-cuts here; in fact everything on the front is a die-cut!  The ground, trees & deer are all from the Grove dies.  The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and that die is from the All That dies.  

All are incredible cards for the men in our lives and I couldn't be prouder of them!  

Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

  • 2 Pretty Team card swaps with neat technique ideas!


    Today I'm sharing two Team Swaps from last month.  Both have neat product ideas.

    First is Tracey's cute card. Can you guess what the tiny scallops on the DSP is?  

    She used the Petal Pink scalloped ribbon under the DSP! Tracey has a special gift on fun ways to use ribbon & twine. This effect is so pretty & delicate looking.  It's currently in low inventory. 

    Measurements:

    The DSP is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4", the White 5 1/4" X 4", the card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The layer under the ribbon & DSP is 5 1/4 X 2"

    Here is a list of the many products she used:

    • Hugs for Love bundle seen here (punch will be available in April)
    • Moody Mauve, Basic White & Pretty in Pink CS
    • Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • 2 3/8" circle punch
    • Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder (circle) 
    • Heat embossing technique

    Next is a pretty card made by Lori. Her special technique surprised me!  Do you spot it?

    She stitched her die-cut circle (Spotlight on Nature) with the 3 color pack of Baker's Twine!  

    Her card base is Flirty Flamingo and the 4" X 5 1/4" CS layer is textured with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.  The pretty DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions (now retired). The greeting & die-cuts are from the Memorable Blooms bundle seen here. 

    I'll share more Team swaps tomorrow!

  • You are Remarkable fun fold card with the new Botanical Textures DSP & Arches dies


    I shared this card on last week's FB Live.  I made it for an online card swap.  I just love it! 

    It's a simple fold back card with the Arches dies and the new You Are  remarkable stamp set.  Here's what it looks like opened: I love the double Arches dies here! These dies are in low inventory AGAIN.  See them here.    

    The You Are Remarkable stamp set (seen here) is both a 2-step stamp and a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of ink with one stamping.  I like that you can stamp the flower and leaves separately in different color inks from the single outline stamp.  Note the inside flower image above that I stamped without the outline.  I like it just as well this way too!

  • You are Remarkable card in a clean & simple style with video & free project sheet


    I created this pretty card with the new 'You Are Remarkable' stamp set from our Online Exclusive offering. 

    I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme.  I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot!  See this stamp set here. 

    My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog. 

    I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles.  These are incredible!  See them here:

    On the video I changed the card a bit from the original on the left. Which do you prefer?  How many differences can you spot?
