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!

  • Matchbook Cards on tonight’s FB Live! An easy fun fold showing off your DSP


    We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.  

    Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches?  See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?  

    I am featuring the Flowering Tulips stamp set & Flowering Fields designer series paper here.  It's so pretty and spring-like.  

    The Live video is at 7:30 pm CT here on my Facebook page. If you aren't following me yet, be sure to do that so you don't miss the 6 videos I do each month.  

    The 2nd & 4th Monday night videos are 'Stamp with Me' videos where I encourage you to prep your pieces and create right along with me. I share the measurements & supplies needed a day or two ahead of time on my FB page here. Of course you can choose to watch first and make yours later too.  

    Here's a photo of them laying flat.  My colors include Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Old Olive on the left card.  The card on the right is Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry & Shaded Spruce.  

    The dies for the greetings are the Layering Circles, Tasteful Labels and Beautiful Shapes dies.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"

  • Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  

    I chose to use Magenta Madness.  It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.  

    I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY!  There's no guessing with stamp placement.  

    Details:

    • The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here. 
    • I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center. 
    • The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here. 
    • The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here. 
    • The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.
