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!

  • Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video


    On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

    I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

    My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

    Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.

    Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.

  • Holiday Shaker card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    I shared these super fun shaker cards on last week's video. They were one of our November card club projects. 

    The colors include Pool Party, White & Real Red.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut but some of the dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle cut out the printed elements from the Snowy Scenes designer paper. The greeting die are from the Countryside Corners dies. 

    Below you can see how you assemble the shaker card. We used the Pool Party window layer to position the snowman die-cut on the Red card base. Then we stamped the Pool Party layer with snowflakes. Next lay your shaker elements on that as shown below.

    Add the window sheet to the back of your window, then add our Adhesive Strips close to the opening; do not leave any gaps! Add a few supporting adhesive strips as well.  Then remove the paper backing from the strips and turn it over and add over the snowman layer matching the window with the snowman die-cut. Press down well to get a good seal.  Shake!

    My shaker bits include retired loose sequins and the White Loose Snowflakes available here.  We added a few to the front of the card as well.

    The stamped elements are all from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The snow globe dies are wonderful and match the two different designer paper snow globes wonderfully!  

    Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.
