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!

  • Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card


    Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

    She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper.  I love the spotlight technique she did too!  You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here.  This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy! 

    This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

    Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect.  The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

    I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
    • large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"

    I love this card!  Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!

  • Opt in for my Card stock shares


    I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.  

    Here's how it works.  Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

    These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog. 

    1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

    2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

    3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

    4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

    5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

    6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

    *If you'd like any of these let me know.  I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well.  Email me here for a quote. 

    These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.

  • Lots of product displays from my New Catalog Launch party!


    I held my New Catalog launch party on Saturday and today I'm sharing some of the displays I had for my customers. It was a cold day here but I still had a decent turnout. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I forgot. 

    This table above is my Sale-a-Bration display. I laid out the many products and projects I had to show what can be done with this year's Sale-a-Bration items.  

    This next view of of this same table. 

    Next is 3 boards featuring products from the 2025 Spring catalog. 

    Most of these were received from swapping with my stamping friends. 

    From left to right, this board features the Friends of the Ocean suite, center is the With you in Mind stamp set, upper middle is the Darling Dino, upper left is the Terrific Toadstools, lower right is the Floral Delight& Darling Wishes. 

    This next board features the Memorable Blooms on the lower left, the Wildflower Birthday at the top and the To the Point punch projects on the lower right. 

    This final board features the One More Year on the top left, Storybook Moments on the lower left, the Linked Together at the upper right and the Beautiful Butterflies on the lower right.
