Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with.

I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

WATERCOLOR SHAPES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET Save

I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

What do you think of this color combination?

I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.

  • More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards

    I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here.  And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

    this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods.  I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate.  A gorgeous card!

    Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace.  She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper.

    At first glance it looks like a regular card front.  But wait…. look!

    She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside.  They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down. 

    She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail.

    Isn't it cool?!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside

    Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set.  Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.

    She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge.  She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa.  But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

    Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers.  So smart! 

    Here's the inside view:

  • Christmas card swaps!

    I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

    Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

    Oct Evergreen Marilyn Save

    Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
    • Hippo & Basic Border dies
    • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
    • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
    • Soft Succulent ribbon

    And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder!

    Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

    Oct Evergreen Marilyn Save

    Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

    It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.

    The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

  • Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

    I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs.  It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. 

    Nature's Harvest August Club Save

    The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?'  It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'. 

    Details:

    • The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
    • The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers. 
    • That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration. 
    • The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut 

    Nature's Harvest Save

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
      • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
      • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
      • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"
