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.

  • Check out these CUTE Potions & Spells Halloween card swaps


    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap – our theme was Fall or Halloween cards. 

    Today's first card is made by Ginny who chose the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    Such an adorable card!  She cased it from Julie Gilson.  I love the colors of Granny Apple Green, Black, gray, Peach Pie with bits of purple & yellow.  

    Check out this cute bundle here. 

    The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured.  The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable! 

    Next is a fun card made by Robin who used this same bundle. She also added a ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    She's a master at sponging her backgrounds. I sure love her color scheme of purple, green & black.  

    Next is Candy's striking card also using the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper.  I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon. 

    Here's the inside of her cute book-binding card:

  • Changing Leaves Dutch Door card with free project sheet & video


    It's free shipping today!  Plus my annual Mystery Box sale! 

    ~~~

    Are you drawn to monochromatic cards like me?  Today's project is entirely green tones.  It's a card we made at Club in August and it features the beautiful Changing Leaves bundle. 

    The colors include Old Olive, Mossy Meadow & White. I chose the very special Changing Leaves bundle for this because of the neat textures you can achieve with the 3D embossing folder that matches the large leaves die.

    This bundle has been out of stock for quite a few weeks but should return around September 23rd. See it here. 

    The White rectangle is from the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

    It's a Dutch Door card fold where the side opens up and brings the center layers with it. This long piece is 11" X 2 1/4" and is scored at 5 1/2". It's attached to the bottom of the 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base.  Check out the free project sheet for it.

    I shared this card and another very special fun fold card on the following video.  Be sure to follow me here on my YouTube channel; I share lots of fun folds and techniques every week!
