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!

  • Frames & Flowers card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial. Limited quantity available!


    I was so excited when I saw the Frames & Flowers designer paper in the new catalog. It has multiple sheets of pre-cut elements that coordinate with the paper.  This makes it so easy to create with as you don't have to stamp or die-cut additional pieces. 

    Here are the pretty cards included in the pre-cut kit for June: 

    I design my kits around the paper so all you need to add are stamped greetings. I chose to use the new Simply Said set this time; which you can add on at a discount. I cut everything for you but the designer paper.  The PDF tutorial includes measurements so you can easily accomplish that. 

    Opt in for the card kit to go by June 18th; supplies may be limited. The PDF tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment; check your spam folder. The pre-cut kit is mailed at the end of June. 

    This kit includes the following:

    • All pre-cut supplies for 10 cards including card stock layers & die-cut elements
    • a share of Frames & Flowers designer paper  
    • a share of Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock gems & envelopes
    • the free PDF tutorial which has step by step directions, photos, measurements & a supplies list

    *It does not include stamped images, textured layers or adhesives.  You will need greeting images, a few colors of ink, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. 

    Reserve yourpre-cut card kit here. It's $29 plus shipping.  Or choose the PDF tutorial option for $15  here.

    Add on the Simply Said stamp set at an extra 10% off. Message me here for a price quote. 

    The best deal is to add on another kit to save on shipping. See them all here. 

    *This is the kit my subscribers will receive in June.  If you're interested in getting a pre-cut kit each month with $20 in product  click here to opt in. You get an extra surprise in your package now and then & can cancel, skip or opt out at any time. It's $38 with Priority shipping.

  • Spotlight on Nature fun fold card; free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the second card I created on last week's Live video.  Both feature new in colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. 

    I created a free project sheet with the measurements, photos and supplies.  Click on the blue link to print or download it. Download Spotlight on Nature flap fold

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June for a savings of almost $6. See it here.  

    This card really shows off the two embossing folders I used.  On the card below I used the Dotted Circles 3D folder seen here. It's an extra large folder (6" X 8 1/2") that has very deep texture.  It's Shy Shamrock with Pretty in Pink. The designer paper is the Unbounded Beauty. 

    The card below features the Eyelet 3D folder which is quite pretty & delicate. See it here. This card is Petunia Pop with Shy Shamrock. 

    Do you notice the difference in the greetings?  I fussy cut one to add to the In Color Glimmer paper and the other I simply trimmed the ends at an angle. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  I also share another fun fold card using this bundle. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're there.

  • Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.  

    It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it?  I featured it at my May Card Clubs.  I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how. 

    It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends.  Want to know how to do this?  Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.  

    I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this: 

    Here's the free project sheet you can print or download. Click on this blue link: Download May 24 Spotlight on Nature Club

    Which is your favorite?

    I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  I also share another fun fold card using this bundle. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're there.
