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.

  • Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2


    Get inspired by sketches!  You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest.  Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with. 

    I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge.  I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC.  Here's the one we did last week: 

    And here's the card I came up with.  

    I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March.  It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle.  The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May.  But they're releasing it early in March!  

    Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.  

    There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!! 

    That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper!  Don't wait!

  • Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!


    Have you made an origami folded window?  They're so easy to do!  I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here. 

    How does 'Stamp with Me' work?  I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces.  You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!  

    You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper.  I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner.  Draw a line.  Do the same once more on the other corners.  This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to.  Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!  


    It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square.  If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square. 

    The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle.  It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th.  If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.

  • Seashells fun fold card; wow!


    Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap. 

    I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

    Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here. 

    That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4" 
    • Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
    • Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4" 

    *Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down!  You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order.  And then get 20% off all further purchases!
