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.

Save

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.

Save

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" 

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.

• Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

  September 19, 2023

  ---

  Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

  Save

  It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

  She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

  Measurements:

  Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.  
  

  Save

  The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

  Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

  Save

  I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

  This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
  • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
  • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
  • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

  Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!
