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.

  • More Earthen Textures card ideas


    Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video. 

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls.  I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.  

    And here's a very simple version with a similar layout: 

    I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one.  I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls? 

    I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out.  Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock. 

    The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts.  See them here on this post. 

    You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.

  • Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial


    I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

    For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

    To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

    I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too. 

    I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group.  Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.

  • Bright & Beautiful Memories & More cards; choose the kit to go or the PDF tutorial


    I LOVE creating with our Memories & More cards and envelopes.

    I knew the Bright & Beautiful cards with the matching cards & envelopes would make great & colorful cards but I am amazed at how fabulous they turned out.  And how quick and fun it was to make them. 

    Aren't they gorgeous? So bright and colorful. 

    The tutorial includes photos of each card and the cards needed.  This kit is perfect for quick birthday or other celebrations you may need.  There is no stamping needed; the cards or pre-cut adhesive stickers say it all.  

    *All you need to finish these cards is adhesive, scissors and a paper trimmer. (some easy cuts are included in the PDF tutorial)

    When I create my kits, I include extra products valued around $20 and feature them all in my projects. The cost for it all is just $28 plus shipping. The tutorial only is $15. 

    Here's what's included in this kit:

    • 10 Bright & Beautiful cards and envelopes
    • 1/2 package of the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More cards & adhesive die-cuts
    • 1/2 pkg of basic clear rhinestones
    • 2 spools of Baker's twine
    • 1 sheet of mini Stampin' Dimensionals 
    • the free PDF tutorial – sent via email

    Order this kit by August 20th.  It is mailed out at the end of the month.  But the PDF tutorial is sent to you immediately after purchase.  

    I get a ton of positive feedback on my pre-cut kits & tutorials; try one!  *See them all here.
