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.

  • Gorgeous cards in the Enjoy the Moment card kit or tutorial


    I knew I wanted to feature this pretty designer paper called Enjoy the Journey for a card kit to go but I wasn't sure quite how or where to start!  

    But once I decided to go with scenic and silhouette cards they came together wonderfully!  *this dsp is also available free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February. 

    I am thrilled with these cards; they're gorgeous!  I included quite a few fancy folds too. 

    The kit to go  includes 1/2 pkg. (6" X 12") of the Enjoy the Journey DSP, a share of both 3 twine combo and black matte dots, 10 envelopes, the pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces and you'll receive the PDF tutorial free.  

    I also have the PDF tutorial only available if you do not want the pre-cut kit.  However the kit is the best deal; you receive $20 in product (before tax & shipping) plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28!  

    Opt in here for the card kit by February 19 to get it.  Or choose the PDF tutorial here instead.  This kit is mailed out at the end of February via Priority Mail.  The PDF tutorial will be send to you via email immediately after payment. 

    Add on the Happy Labels stamp set or bundle at an extra 10% off!  And if the total ($20 for the kit, $24 for the stamp set + more added) adds up to $50 or more you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice too.  Contact me here for this option. 

    *You will need the following to complete your cards:

    • Black ink and greeting images (I used Happy Labels)
    • a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP, adhesives, optional embossing folder

    Add on any other kit in my shop and save on shipping.  I have a second beautiful, new kit available here with the Texture Chic cards & envelopes.  See all of my kits here.

  • Fabulous swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team using new Stampin’ Up! products


    My Flowerbug's Team has optional swaps each month. This month we used new Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalog products.  You're going to love these cards!

    Roxanne made this cool card using the 'Way to Grow' stamp set seen here.  I think it's a totally new style of images we haven't seen before by Stampin' Up!  She shows it off wonderfully!  

    She did do a bit of fussy cutting – the hair, shirt and pants.  Notice the shirt is stamped on Dandy Designs paper from the SAB catalog!  So cute!  

    Look at the card sample on page 38 of the Spring catalog; she cased the layout on the bottom.  This is a great reminder that we can use the catalog samples as inspiration.  

    Her colors are Coastal Cabana, Pear Pizzazz with Crumb Cake in the ribbon.  The Pear Pizzazz layer is textured with the Brick & Mortar 3D folder.

    Next is a special card made by Annette.  She gives out calendar cards to her friends each year, so she made one for our swap participants too.  She orders these calendars online; there are several sites. Look on Amazon or Google for mini tear off calendars.  

    She featured the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set here.  Isn't the coloring and shading beautiful?  She used Blends markers to color and ink and blending brushed for the background.  The gnome is die-cut with the Gnomes dies – they carried over from the Holiday catalog through May 1st.  

    The designer paper is from the Dandy Designs pack – from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's a big pack of 48 sheets; free with any $100 order from Stampin' Up!  See it here.  

    Next today is a cute Easter card made by Candy.  She used the Easter Bunny stamp set seen here.  It has a coordinating Easter Bunny punch too!  

    Her card is a fun fold – called a Book Binding card fold.  It starts out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card stock.  Score it at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". The Dainty Flowers SAB DSP is 1 1/8" X 4".  The card stock layer is 4" square.  

    She stamped and colored the bunny; then fussy cut it to pop up on the Stylish Shapes & Layering Circles dies.  Her embossing folder is the Pretty Flowers folder in the annual catalog.  Other additions are the Brushed Brass butterflies and Navy bordered ribbon.  

    If you love to swap you'll love our Team swaps; consider joining our Flowerbug's Team! Or maybe you just want to be a part of a friendly stamping group!  It's a great time to choose the Starter Kit deal; details here or below.

  • A Mystery Card Floating technique with the pretty Dainty Flowers


    Every few months we have a Mystery Card challenge with my Flowerbug's Team.  I put together packets of papers and elements and send them to those who opt in. They have a month to make a project using the supplies in their 'Mystery' packet and of course there are prizes too.    

    This month I featured papers from the Dainty Flowers designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Here's my card:

    I had multiple pieces of the designer paper, pieces of Mossy Meadow, a white and Mossy circle and the Rich Razzleberry card base.  They could use as many or as few of the elements that they wanted or add extras too.  

    Floating Technique: I cut one of my DSP layers into 1/2" strips and adhered them to a piece of window sheet.  Then I cut it out with a stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.  

    It's such a unique & unexpected element to a card.  I added some die-cuts from the Dainty Delight dies too.  

    Measurements:

    • Rich Razzleberry card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" 
    • DSP 2" X 4 1/4", circle element is 2 1/2"
    • White layer 2 1/4" X 4 1/2"
