Beautiful Online Exclusive card swaps


We held our monthly Team Gathering and our swap theme was to feature Online Exclusive products.  Honestly our current line of OE products is amazing. Did you know there are over 90 items?  Be sure to check them out here.  

Joan made this first one with the In My Heart stamp set seen here. 

Her coloring is amazing! I believe she used Blends markers for the scene. She used two sizes of the Deckled Circles and her background is made with the Foursquare decorative masks seen here. She used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink to create that gorgeous, striking background. Her colors are Orchid Oasis & Sweet Sorbet – both of these In Colors are retiring in early April! 

Here's how she finished the inside: 

Next is a stunning card made by Tracey. She chose the Courage & Faith stamp set in the Annual catalog; see it here.

I just love how this layout shows off the pretty Meandering Meadows designer paper! 

Measurements: Each of the designer paper pieces are 2 1/2" X 1 1/4". This allows you to make two cards with each 6 X 6" piece of DSP.  The greeting is stamped on a the Scalloped Contours diecut seen here.  

Next is a wonderful card perfect for either guys or gals. It features the Trucking Along bundle seen here. 

I love the stamped and textured background! She also used the Deckled Circles (in low inventory) and the Basics 3D embossing folders – both can be seen in our Online Exclusive line here.    The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies

Stay tuned for more swaps tomorrow!

  • Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!


    Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

    First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

    She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
    • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
    • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

    Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

    Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

    • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
    • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
    • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

    She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

    The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

    Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.

  • WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!


    Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

    First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

    She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!  

    So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" 
    • front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
    • White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
    • Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4" 

    She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set. 

    Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

    She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

    Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

    Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.  

    She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle. 

    Products used:

    • Beary Cute bundle
    • Night of Navy, White, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue card stock
    • Inks – Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight (scarf) and Mossy Meadow
    • Deckled circles dies, Navy & Gold glittered ribbon, Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Balmy blue and White inside 4" square
    • DSP strip 1 1/8" X 4"


    Unfortunately the Bear punch is unavailable right now; it will be back the first week in November though. See this bundle here.

    I'm sharing three more of my Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps today! I know you'll be inspired by one or more of them. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Karen. She chose the Regal Reindeer bundle from the Annual catalog. 

    She paired it with the pretty O Holy Night designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  What a beautiful scene she created!! See the Regal Reindeer stamp set here and the coordinating Reindeer dies here.

     

    Next is an elegant card made by Ginny who featured the Christmas Classic bundle from the Holiday catalog. 

    She added a 2 3/4" square of the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the upper right and textured the entire White panel with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  I love these layered die-cuts! See this bundle here.  It's one of my favorites in the Holiday cataog.  

    Here's the inside view of her card: 

    Paula also used the Christmas Classics bundle on her card:
