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!

  • New Horizons scenic cards; a sure ‘wow’!


    I've been sharing cards made on a recent Facebook Live featuring the New Horizons suite this week.  You just cannot go wrong with these products!  Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a FB live. Follow me on FB here so you don't miss anything. 

    Today's cards feature the On the Horizon bundle along with the beautiful New Horizon designer paper.  Luckily this paper is in stock! 

    The only stamping on this card is the birds. I inked in Misty Moonlight ink and stamped off once before stamping on the designer paper scene.  The paper provides the gorgeous background.

    The card base is Garden Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4".  The designer paper is 5 1/4" X 4".

    The fence, grass, layered mountains and 'green hills' are all die-cut using the Horizon dies.  These dies are currently unavailable but they should be back in stock next week.  The 'blue' mountain was cut from a leftover strip of the designer paper and the detailed mountain was cut from White CS. 

    I decided to try a vertical card as well using this same sheet of New Horizons Designer Paper.  This time the card base is Blackberry Bliss cut at 4 1/4" X 11".  There are so many colors in this paper; many will work easily. 

    Details for both cards:

    • See the On the Horizon's bundle here.
    • The New Horizon's designer series paper is seen here. 
    • the pebbles enamel shapes are also currently unavailable. They should be back in stock later in March.  
    • The fence, grass, mountains, hills are all from the Horizon dies.
