Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets


Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.  

First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP.  We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors. 

The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP.  The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies.  That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here.  All contribute to making this card stunning! 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP are both 3" X 4"

Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made.  She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White.  The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.  

The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder.  The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here.  The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.  

Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Soft Suede – 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4"

Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula.  She cased a card made by Colleen Magness.  It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping.  Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.  

She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker.  Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp.  Huff & stamp!  

The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here.  It's new!  

Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"
  • Pumpkin Pie 5 3/8 X 4 1/8" 

Remember that if you're wanting any of the Holiday Catalog products it's smart to order in August so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!

I'll share the rest of our Team swaps soon.

  • Poetic Petals in a soft color combination


    If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

    The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

    The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

    It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
    The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

    I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

    Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

  • Pretty Poetic Petals cards


    Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

    I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

    See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

    You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

    And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

    I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
