Beautiful Balloons card swaps

May 25, 2023

This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold.

She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card. The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.

More details:

Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel.
The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.

Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here. It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies.

I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card:

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts. It was actually very easy to do! I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors. I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems.

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging. I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen. That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies! Can you see the shimmer on the flowers? I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!

May 1, 2021

Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.

Aren't they fabulous? It was sweet & generous of her!

For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog.

Save

She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water. She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely. The fresh flowers lasted over a week!

Would you like to know how she made the basket? Well she made a template to share with you all as well! Download Sharon's Basket here

For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog.

Have a wonderful May Day!!
