Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets

August 19, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Save

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"

Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 29, 2024
I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video:

Save

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card. The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper.

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color.

Save

More Details:
- I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture!
- Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer. This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper.
- I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

Spring Catalog display boards

January 26, 2024

I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products. I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

Save

Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper.

Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display. See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

Save

Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.

Save

Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together. These are fabulous! See them online here.

Save

Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!

Save

Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here.

Save

Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here.

Save

I featured both of these bundles in a recent video seen here. Everyone loved the projects!

The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!

January 25, 2024
I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit! Here are my cards.

Save

The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags. I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards! They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here. It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!

*I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!

Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit:

Save

I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers. The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies! These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems.

Save

If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time. No planning or prep; just creative fun!

Save

Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin:
1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here. *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.
I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice. When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

Save
Did you know that you are in charge of which kits you receive? Once you purchase a pre-paid subscription or subscribe you can opt out of any kit you do not want. Stampin' Up! shares what's coming up each month so you can decide if you want it or not. You have complete control!

*Plus when you subscribe with me, LeeAnn Greff, you'll qualify for a FREE tutorial each month.
- This tutorial PDF is filled with 10 or more alternate ideas for additional projects you can make with each month's kit (includes photos & instructions) – making your kit go a lot further! *see example photo below
