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…..

June Annette ink dragging Save

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….?  

July Lori Birds eye view Save

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.

  • More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

    Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

    Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

    This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

    One Horse open sleigh 5 Save

    My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

    Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

    One Horse open sleigh 5b Save

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
    • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

    Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

    One Horse open sleigh 4b Save

    This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

    The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

    Measurements:

    • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
    • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

    Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

  • One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

    On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.

    These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold!  The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here.   You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

    I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off  this is the layout I use.

    Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements: 

    Measurements:

    • DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically.  From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
    • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
    • White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”

    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings.  It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.
