3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards


I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together!

And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.  

Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!

  • Curvy Celebration ideas!


    Here are a few more projects I made with the Curvy Celebrations products. 

    Above is a super simple card made by cutting just one piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock in half with one of the Curvy dies.  Separate them on the Vanilla card and add a curvy greeting.  Finish with a few punched leaves from the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle. 

    On this card I added the White curvy die-cut layer to a piece of Artistry Blooms designer paper and finished it with a few Blossom punches and Artistry Blooms sequins.  Easy!

    The card above features my strips technique I shared here in this video.  So fun and a great way to use scraps of Designer Paper! 

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products! 

    I chose to get it all at once with the entire Curvy Celebrations bundle seen here.  

    Here are some sneak peaks of the projects in the free PDF: 

    Above are ideas featuring the Quite Curvy set and below are projects with the Curvy Christmas set.

    I wanted to get these out in time for Christmas gifts.  They're perfect for those people who don't need a thing!  Everyone uses a calendar!  And when each page is hand stamped for the month or season they're extra special.  

    I had to use my Life is Beautiful stamp set on the cover!! Below you can see the variety of months included in this flip style, easel calendar. Each page is 4 X 4" square and on 1" metal rings.  

    How does this kit to go work?  Here's what you'll receive:

    • Pre-cut card stock including punched or die-cut pieces
    • pre-cut, printed calendars for each page
    • Two 4" coasters for the front and back and two metal rings

    What it does not include are stamped images, gems or adhesive.  To finish the calendar you will need a variety of stamps, inks, gems and adhesives. 

    You have two options here; order the pre-cut kit here or order the PDF tutorial here. 

    The kits will be mailed out at the end of November.  The tutorial is emailed to you immediately and includes both 2021 and 2022 calendars!!

    **They're $15 each but add on shipping for the kit.  Be sure to order your kit by November 19th to get one.

  • All Around Wreath for Christmas


    Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem!  So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.  

    Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap. 

    She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold.  The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.  

    Other details:

    • The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
    • The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
    • She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.
