Beautiful Balloons card swaps


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. 

Next is another simple fun fold made by Lori.  Her colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel & a bit of Berry Burst.  

Measurements:

  • Lemon Lime Twist card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Bright & Beautiful DSP 3" X 5 1/4" 
  • White greeting 2 3/4" X 3/4" 

Thanks for stopping in to see our projects today!

  • Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!


    This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

    I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy. 

    Here's how to make this pretty card. 

    1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
    2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
    3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
    4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
    5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
    6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
    7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

    Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

  • Over the Moon Fun-Fold card


    My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month.  Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month.  They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!  

    It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.  

    Isn't it cute?  It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

    The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here.  Aren't they perfect?!!!

    Measurements:

    • Black back – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", bottom front 2 3/4" X 4 3/4" scored at 4 1/4", front panel 3" X 4 1/4" stitched rectangle
    • Real Red 2 5/8" X 4" stitched rectangle
    • White front 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" stitched rectangle, lower front spotted, stamped panel 2 1/2" X 4"

  • Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!


    These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

    The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

    I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

    The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

    These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

    These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
