Beautiful fall swap cards by my Team!


This week I'm sharing the incredible swaps my Flowerbug's Team created for our September swap event.  Each month our group has an optional swap event that anyone on my Team can join.  This time it was fall or Halloween themed. 

Did you know there is a new special on the Starter kit in October? You can become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and enjoy all the perks too!  No worries on holding events or 'selling' if you don't want to. Most of my team are happy shoppers and just enjoy the discount and perks of being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.  Email me here if you'd like to learn more about this.

Brenda made this gorgeous card with the popular Aspen Tree dies which were unavailable for awhile but they're back but now in low inventory again!  See them here.  

 

She die-cut the large die from Early Espresso card stock and added a few die-cut leaves, also from the Aspen Tree dies set.  The 'Hello' is from the Hello Harvest stamp set, stamped on a white stitched rectangle die-cut.  

Her amazing background is done with our Blending Brushes; it's a beautiful way to create a striking horizon for this die.

Next is a stunning card made by Marla. This card has tons of texture that does not show in the photo. 

She featured the Texture Chic, Gold & Rose Gold and Distressed Gold designer papers.  The leaves, acorn and grid die-cuts are from the Chic dies seen here The greeting die-cut is from the Floral Gallery dies. It's so pretty!

Next is a card made by a couple; Miles & Laura, featuring the Gnomes bundle.

  • Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

    You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

    My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

    This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

    The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card with measurements & directions. Click here.

  • Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP


    I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

    Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

    When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

    The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
    I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

  • Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP


    Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

    It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.


    Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

    Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
    I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

    Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

    Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.
