Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

April 12, 2022

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.

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.

Save

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.

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.

All About Autumn Accordion Fold card

September 25, 2023
Check out this beautiful swap card Karen made with the All About Autumn Designer series paper:

Save

That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though.

The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it? But check this out!

Save

It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield. The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below.

She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore! The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here.

Save

The scattered leaf Rose Gold foil die-cuts and gorgeous DSP are so pretty.

The Autumn Leaves bundle can be seen here.

Beautiful Fall swap card projects

September 22, 2023
I shared quite a few of my Team swap cards yesterday and today are three more beauties!

But first, did you know the Clearance Rack was updated this week with LOTS more fabulous deals?!

Shop the updated Clearance Rack here:

Save

First up is a beautiful card made by Jacki featuring the Sending Smiles set seen here and the Sending dies seen here

Save

I always love to see out of the box colors for the Autumn season. She used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry. The background designer paper is the Inked Botanicals from the Annual catalog.

What a gorgeous bouquet of flowers she created.

Next is Marla's card – she also used the Inked Botanicals designer paper. She also used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set seen here on her main layer.
Save

The colors include Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral – all featured in her designer paper.

Measurements:
- Vanilla card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for stamped front panel
- Crushed Curry 3" X 5 1/4" plus 3" X 4" for front panel layer & 1" X 5 1/4" inside
- Designer paper 2 3/4" X 5"
Ginny made this last card using the Natural Prints set and Nature's Prints dies seen on page 24 of the annual catalog.

Save

She cased this card from Mitusu Crafts; she inked her clear blocks directly in our classic inks and stamped directly onto her card stock. She heat embossed the 'splotches' using Copper embossing powder.

There are so many awesome details here – the colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Pebbled Path. I love the greeting shape – cut by hand I believe.
