Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme


Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap.  I can't wait to share all of the cards with you!  Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.  

First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.  

The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth.  It is on the retiring list right now; see it here.  The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack.  What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle.  The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set.  This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper. 

The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch.  The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away!  See it here.  

Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side.  The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey.  She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here. 

Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here.  After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers!  Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?  

She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first.  Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides.  Isn't this amazing!  

 

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's incredible swap cards tomorrow.

  • Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video


    Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.  

    The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you.  It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities.  We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

    Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Beige & Very Vanilla.  Peacock is one of my favorite 'outside the box' colors for autumn projects. 

    Two of my favorite types of stamps are 2-step and Distinktive and this set is both!  It's a sweet & simple set & it's just $17. See it here. 

    When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below.  It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set. 

    Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design. 

    I created a video that's posted below.  I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag.  See the measurements below.

    Measurements:

    • Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
    • Pretty Peacock 2 3/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 4 
    • Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", 4 1/4" X 1" strip
    • Very Vanilla 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" plus tag die-cut

    Below is the video I shared along with card swaps from my Team.

  • Playful Ghosts card swaps; check them out!


    Here are a few more Halloween card swaps, most featuring the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    Joan made this cute card with bright fall colors.

    Her colors include Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler. She added tons of leaves from the Changing Leaves dies. The embossing folder is the Leaf Fall 3D seen here. 

    Check out the Playful Ghosts stamp set here.  It's filled with cute & playful images. 

    She offered a 2nd option of a fall themed card for us at the shoebox swap.

    The greeting is from the Autumn Expressions stamp set.  I love how she created two themes using the same colors & layout!  

    Lastly today is Rita's cute card also featuring the Playful Ghosts set. 

    She stamped the images in Black and colored in with Blends markers. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

    I'll share more fall themed card swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!

  • Check out these CUTE Potions & Spells Halloween card swaps


    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap – our theme was Fall or Halloween cards. 

    Today's first card is made by Ginny who chose the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    Such an adorable card!  She cased it from Julie Gilson.  I love the colors of Granny Apple Green, Black, gray, Peach Pie with bits of purple & yellow.  

    Check out this cute bundle here. 

    The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured.  The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable! 

    Next is a fun card made by Robin who used this same bundle. She also added a ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    She's a master at sponging her backgrounds. I sure love her color scheme of purple, green & black.  

    Next is Candy's striking card also using the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper.  I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon. 

    Here's the inside of her cute book-binding card:

    More swaps coming tomorrow!
