Beautiful Monochromatic swaps with 3D embossing folders


This week I’ll be sharing my Flowerbug’s Team swaps for August.  Our theme was monochromatic and they are all wonderful!

The two cards today are both made with 3D embossing folders. This first pretty card was made by Tracey. 

Her colors include Petal Pink, Calpyso Coral and Cajun Craze. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle. It was on the Last Chance list; but only the embossing folder & dies are left but they are discounted and they easily stand alone without the stamp set!  See them here. 

She started with the Beautiful Bokeh DSP seen here and after texturing it added ink with sponging and the ‘Direct to Paper’ method. This is when you add ink by tapping or rubbing the ink pad directly onto the paper.  She blended Calypso Coral on the large flowers, Timid Tiger on the Medium ones. She finished by dragging White Craft ink across it all. 

Here’s how she stamped the inside:

This next card was made by Lori. She used the beautiful Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here.  

This folder is out of stock right now.  But you can put your name on a list (on the link above) to be notified when it becomes available again. 

Her colors include Daffodil Delight with Early Espresso.  The card base is Crushed Curry. 

She sponged Daffodil Delight ink to the raised areas and it looked so much like Crushed Curry she used that for the card base. I love that she added an extra sunflower to the front to give it more dimension!  This one is fussy cut. 

Her greeting is from the More Messages bundle seen here.   

I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

  • Diamond Gatefold fun fold card with Season of Green & Gold specialty paper – video too!


    On last week's Live video I created this beautiful fun fold card. It shows off both sides of our double sided designer paper beautifully! 

    I chose to feature the stunning Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper seen here online.  It's filled with shades of green with gold foil accents and is part of our Online product line.

    I cased my friend Susie Wood who made the card on the left below: 

    She used the Regal Flora designer paper in Cherry Cobbler with Blackberry Bliss. So very pretty!  Find more projects by my talented friend from Iowa here on her blog. 

    I love this neat fold!

    Details:

    • The pretty gold die-cut is from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.
    • The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set seen here
    • The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Forest dies seen here

    Look at the extra details inside too. Wedding cards are fun because you can go over the top a bit! This gorgeous card will be given to my youngest son who's getting married this week.  I'm so thrilled for him and his fiance'. We're excited to welcome her into our family! 

    It used a pieces of designer paper measuring 12" X 5 1/4" that is adhered to a card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then the corners are folded down. Here's the simple template I drew:

  • New, beautiful Splendid Autumn card kit to go; now with an exclusive video tutorial!


    Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go. 

    Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

    I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

    This month's kit to go includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
    • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
    • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
    • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

    Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

    *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set. 

    However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

    *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!
