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!

  • Fantastic fun fold cards made with the Round We Go bundle!


    Today I'm sharing the second half of our Team's Artist of the Month projects. Paula did an amazing job showcasing the Round We Go bundle seen here.  

    Most of her cards featured today are fun folds. This first card is among my favorites because of the colors; I love the freshness of the blues and yellows together. 

    She used Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly & Daffodil Delight as well as the Country Lace designer paper seen here.  I love how she die-cut the extra detailed circle around the greeting. 

    This card is a gift card too; here's the inside view: 

     

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • White card fold 4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • DSP 3 3/4" square and two 1" X 4" strips

    Next is a deceiving card front that opens up to something quite unique. 

    I love how she made the rosette look like a round bow on a gift. Her colors include Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop. Here's the inside view of this card:

    The pop up flap is an extra piece added under the lower White piece. It's 5" square; scored at 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2 5/8". then cut at an angle to the last score line. Each White layer is 5" X 4". 

    See this unique bundle here.  It's discounted through Sunday. 

    This last card is also somewhat deceptive.  It makes the most of the pretty Full of Life designer paper on the front as well as a stamped rosette with Pretty in Pink ribbon. 

    It opens up to reveal a simple opening.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 9 1/4" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"
    • DSP 3 1/2" X 4" and 1 1/2" X 4"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4" 

    Aren't her projects wonderful?  She really showcased this neat bundle beautifully.

  • Fabulous projects with the Round We Go Bundle and it’s on sale through Sunday!


    Today I'm sharing the first set of projects by our Artist of the Month for June.  Paula chose the Round We Go bundle to create with and she did an incredible job!

    This bundle is on sale through June – an extra 20% off.  It was $45 and is now just $40 for all of the above. See it here.

    This first card features multiple dies and a stamped background too.  The designer papers used for the rosettes include  Full of Life and the In Color 6" X 6" prints.

    Her colors include Boho Blue & Peach Pie with White. 

    Next is a fun patriotic card she made for her nephew who is in the military. It sure reminds me of decorative bunting! 

    Her colors are Red, White & Navy with Crumb Cake.  She stamped the circles with one of the stamps in the set.  Love her creativity! 

    Next up is a fun card with two 'lollipops' made with the dies in the bundle.  

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock, Vanilla and Crumb Cake.  She layered at least 3-4 of the Crumb Cake 'feel better soon' dies together for a fantastic raised look. 

    Next is this amazing box. I haven't seen anyone do a half rosette to decorate a box top before!  It's genius! 

    Her colors are Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. I don't have measurements for the box but it's about 2 3/4" square and over 2" tall.  

    Here's another box she made where she stamped the entire box with many of the image in the set.  

    Her box is made from Lemon Lolly card stock and she added a layered stamped greeting made from one of the dies in the set.  It's almost like a long milk carton box that closes at the top with twine.  Neat! 

    Aren't her projects amazing?  She really showcased this neat bundle.  Stop back tomorrow for the rest of her projects!
