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.

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.

Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

June 6, 2023
I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip.

This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.

Save

This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!

She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.

Save

Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic 12 X 12" designer paper seen here. It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.

Save

I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP. That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.

Save

Her measurements are:
- Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- yellow DSP 2" X 4"
- Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
- daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"

May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing! It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4". The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit. I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it.
