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.

  • 3 FUN ways to use Window Sheets – check out these Team swaps!

    Our swap theme for our Flowerbug's Team was to feature either Window Sheets or Vellum on their cards.  The cards were amazing; as usual! 

    Today we're focusing on Window Sheets. 

    First is a special card made by Lori.  She used the Window Sheet as her card base!  I'm not sure I've ever seen that before…

    Feb Lori cup of tea Save

    She used the Cup of Tea bundle and the newest In Colors on her card.  Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party & Sweet Sorbet.  

    She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front 'frame'. It measures 3" X 4 3/8" at the largest. She made two frames; one for the front and one for the inside. The die-cut tea cup is also positioned on the front and the back of the front.  

    She added a folded White layer inside that opens up.  It's 3 3/8" X 4" folded in half.

    Then on the very back she added a piece of the Tea Boutique DSP that measures 3" X 4 1/4".  Such a unique card!  

    ~~~

    This next card was made by Ginny.  She used the Dandy Designs DSP for her card front.  It's almost monochromatic but there is a bit of Pear Pizzazz and Black too. So pretty!!

    Feb Ginny Framed Florets Save

    She added a window sheet to bridge the upper and lower layers of the card front.  You can see the greeting through the window sheet.  Her greeting and the pretty floral die-cut is from the Framed Florets bundle.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2". Lower card stock layer is 4 1/4" X 3".
    • DSP is 4" X 1" and 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Window sheet is 4" X 2 1/4"

    ~~~

    This next card was made by Paula.  She created a window from her DSP layer, adding Window Sheet behind it and a die-cut flower from the Framed Florets bundle in front. 

    Feb Paula Framed Florets Save

    The Designer Paper is called Design a Daydream; it's in the annual catalog and is a big 48 pack for just $18.  You can earn it once your order is over $150 with host benefits. 

    I love her wrap of linen thread with a tiny little bow as accent. 

    Measurements:

    • Soft Sea Foam card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Pear Pizzazz 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Window sheet 3" for the circle opening which is 2 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Next is a cute & colorful card that really shows off our Window Sheets! 

    Jackie made a type of bridge card where the window sheet allows you to see the inside layer from the front.  

    Feb Jacki Tea Boutique . Save

    She is featuring the Butterfly Kisses suite here – the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP and the Build a Butterfly dies. 

    Her window sheet is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and she textured it with the Raindrops embossing folder from the Spring Catalog.  The lower layers are added to the base. 

    Her colors include Calypso Coral, Starry Sky & Crushed Curry. The curvy borders are done with the Seaside Bay dies. Neat effect!  

    Feb Jacki Tea Boutique . Save

    She added the greeting inside the card with the Double Oval punch seen here; it's a big favorite of mine that I had wished for.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 7", scored at 5 1/2".  Second Calypso Coral layer for the bottom front is 4 1/4" X 1 1/2"
    • DSP layers are 3 7/8" X 1"
    • Starry Night layers are 4 1/8" X 1 1/4"

  • Two gorgeous cards with the Two-Tone Floral bundle with video

    Here are a few more of the cards I shared in last week's FB Live that featured the Two-Tone Floral suite seen here. Click here to watch the video.  

    This first card shows off the large, gorgeous detailed die in the Two-Tone Floral dies.  Can you see the shimmery paper under it?

    That pretty Gold paper is part of the Fine Shimmer Specialty paper in the Spring catalog.  It has 2 each of 3 colors including Gold, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia.  See it here.  

    I stamped a few flowers and leaves from the bundle and die-cut them out with the coordinating dies.  Then I added a 1" strip of Soft Succulent to anchor the flowers and the die-cut greeting onto.  The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set.

    Below is a photo of the bundle; it's a 2-step stamp set which means there are two images that match and are meant to be stamped over each other.  One is a solid image and the other is a detailed image.  You can stamp both with the same ink, the solid in a lighter hue (stamp off once first) and the detailed image over it without stamping off.

    Some people stamp the solid image first and add the detailed over it.  I found it easier to stamp the detailed first as it's a darker ink and more difficult to see through.  Try it both ways to see what works for you.

    This pretty bundle qualifies you to receive a free Sale-a-Bration choice if purchased during February. See all of the choices here. 

    Next is a gorgeous card featuring this same bundle but also adding in the Fancy Flora DSP. See it here.  The patterns remind me of palette painting and the color combos are amazing!  The Stampin' Up! artists are incredibly talented. 

    Two-Toned flora Save

    I added a bit of the new Navy Bordered ribbon from the Spring catalog and a stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.  These dies are so popular they cannot keep them in stock.  They are currently in low inventory 'again'!
