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.

Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

April 22, 2021
I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in. I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set.

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black.

Can you spy all of the new products I used? There are 5 if you count everything.

Save
1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle.
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off). I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)
~~~~

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Save

Look at the new Gingham paper! It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack. Look at the gorgeous ribbon! It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors.

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting. It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes. I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here. Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

April 21, 2021

I have a few special cards to share today. They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't. At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them. Scroll down to see it or click here.

This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.

Save

It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies. The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP. I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

I posted the measurements in the photo for you. I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots.

Save

This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card. I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle! Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!

Save

This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder. It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed. Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.

Save

This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go! But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love.

Here's the video; I hope you watch it!
