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.

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.  

July Becky Let's Set Sail Save

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

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.

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!

    I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

    Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:

  • Best Dressed FB Live cards

    I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

    Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

    I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

    After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

    Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

  • Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

    My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

    Seriously the Best Black White & Poppy Save

    This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

    1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
    3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
    4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
    5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
    6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

    You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:
