3rd set of WOW Masculine swap cards by my Team!

I have another set of incredible swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme in July was masculine cards and the cards are out of this world creative!  I'm sharing a bunch each day this week. 

First up is a card made by Candace.  She really went outside the box with her background strip idea.  The various widths & lengths of strips are a clever & unique way to set up her aquatic scene.  

Save

She used the 'Whale Done' stamp set and the coordinating Whale punch.  That neat 'seaweed' is from the Delicate Edges dies seen here.  

Her colors are unique but sure work well together!  They are Soft Sea Foam, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Orchid Oasis.  Great job!!

 

Next is Becky's fun 'sailboat' card.  She used the Let's Set Sail Bundle seen here.  

Save

Her colors are Night of Navy, Parakeet Party & Sahara Sand.  The DSP is from the Sun Prints.  It's a fancy fold too!  

Save

Notice her clouds on the background?  She used the Friends are Like Seashells stamps for those!  So clever! 

Measurements:

• The card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2". 
• The long strip is 1 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" & 8 1/4" and is adhered only at the two end pieces.  
• The squares are 1 3/4" & 2" in size.  

Next is a wonderful card made by Monica.  She used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set & coordinating Dragonflies punch.

Save

Details:

• Her colors include Soft Suede, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.  She textured the various strips using the new Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. 
• The strips are all 4 3/4" long but vary in width from 5/8" – 1 1/4" all adhered to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS.  Again, strips to the rescue for a unique background idea; perfect for men.  
• The greeting die-cuts are from the Stitched Rectangle dies. 
• The dragonfly is stamped on Vellum and punched out. But she stamped it again on a piece of the Texture Chic specialty DSP for the center.  So it has gold details on it! 

Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

• More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!

  February 24, 2021

  ---

  The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper.  Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

  This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too.  My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar.  It's so cool!

  You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

  Save

  I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set.  I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images.  For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.  

  Save

  This card is so neat!  But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.

  Next is a fun card with a neat masking tip using the leaves in this set.  I stamped them in a 'round' to create a loose wreath. 

  Save

  I chose to use the Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay papers and inks here.  Watch the video below to catch my matching tip to connect the four stamped leaf images perfectly.

  We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs.

  I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.

  Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

  Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.

• Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper

  February 23, 2021

  ---

  Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.  

  The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers.  Did you know we have two kinds?  A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.  

  This first card was created by Karen G.  She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous!  I love the heart and that banner!!! 

  Save

  This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies.  The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here. 

  Save

  And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary.  She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.  

  Save

  She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers.  The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle. 

  Aren't my gals talented though!

  *Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down!  You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order.  And then get 20% off all further purchases!
