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!

  • Corners in Bloom fun fold card


    I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set. 

    I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

    This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order.  There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th. 

    We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two!  I love the many options you have with these line art stamps. 

    My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.

  • Beautiful Butterflies with Mixed Florals swap card; free project sheet


    Here's one more pretty card I made for an online swap in December.  I just love the colors!  

    I used Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow & Poppy Parade; all taken from the Mixed Florals designer paper seen here.  It's from our newest Online Exclusives release. See all of the newest items here. 

    There's just something about this layout that I love.  It might be the balance of the vertical & horizontal layers along with the circle.  It just feels right. 

    The greeting and butterfly die-cut are from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here.  

    There's so many neat things about this new bundle – the wonderful greetings, the pretty Hybrid embossing folder that matches the butterfly die and the fact that there's a large butterfly die that creates a butterfly folded card front like the one below!

  • Storybook Moments fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this easy fun fold card on last week's video. I made it for an online swap in December.  

    It features the Storybook Moments designer series paper from our new 2025 Spring catalog. It reminds many people of Beatrix Potter. You can see this unique paper here.   It has two sheets of printed die-cuts in each pack that make it easy to add coordinating layers. 

    I love this fun fold because it uses your card stock so effectively.  It starts with a card base at 11" X 4 1/4".  Simply trim off 3 1/4" square from one end and use it as the extra layer on the front flap.  The DSP in the center is 3" square and the side is 2" X 4". Super simple and a great use of your double sided designer paper.
