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.

Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards. I love the two toned look of these In Colors together. When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!

Prized Peony bundle; wow!

July 10, 2020

Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month. They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here.

Save

Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite. She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals. The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here.

Save

Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves. That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.

You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy. It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily. You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time. I made a video of it here on FB.

See the whole Prized Peony Bundle here.
