Check out these Team Swaps!

The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

~~~

Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

~~~

Next is a pretty card from Kim.

She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

• Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

  July 2, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle.  I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

  

  They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here.  I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder.  *Click on each title to see them in my store. 

  The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here.  I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints.  *my free tutorial of the month features this suite!  See below. 

  

  The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side. 

  All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut. 

  I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.
