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.  

April Annette Beauty of the Earth Save

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. 

April Annette Beauty of the Earth Save

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.

  • Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

    This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too!

    I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down. 

    You can see this bundle here online.

    I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

  • Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

    I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

    Beautiful Balloons suite . Save
    I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

    It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

    Measurements:

    • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
    • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

    I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.

  • All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!

    I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

    The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to.

    However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

    Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.

    May Exploring In Color kit Save

    Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects. 

    April All the Little Things all Save
    Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

    April All the Little Things LA Save

    Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!

    I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

    Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

    Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

    Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!
