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.

• 3 ways to use the Layered Floral on one card!

  February 7, 2024

  ---

  I shared this pretty textured card on last week's FB live video: 

  

  The textured card stock is Fresh Freesia.  I used a Blending Brush with Blackberry Bliss ink to highlight the gorgeous texture. The Layered Floral 3D embossing folder is amazing; it has super deep texture! 

  I made a second card during the video with another rich color combination of Night of Navy with Boho Blue. Note the different ways I added vellum to these two cards. 

  Also note the pretty texture added to the envelope flap; why don't we do this more often!? 

  

  Here are the 3 ways I featured this pretty Layered Floral 3D embossing folder:

  1. Textured, then added ink with a Blending Brush.
  2. I textured the envelope flap and add a very light ink, again with a Blending Brush.
  3. Cut out a large flower from a separate piece of textured card stock; and I punched a smaller flower using the Petal Park Builder punch – yes it coordinates!!

  

  Products used here:

  • Layered Floral 3D embossing folder; seen here
  • Deckled Circle dies seen here
  • Vellum card stock
  • Cheerful Daisy dies
  • Heartfelt Hellos stamp set from Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here; free with a $50 order

• Stunning cards in the Lovely Lavender card kit to go!

  February 6, 2024

  ---

  I love these gorgeous cards so much!  They have lots of details & elements but they're still quick to create!

  

  This card kit includes 12 cards; you'll make 4 each of 3 card designs. It's based on the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin refill kit but I've added an extra 4 cards, changed them up and added on extra product to jazz them up.

  The kit includes the following:

  • 12 card bases, greeting labels & die-cut elements for the 12 cards
  • a share of Fine Shimmer Purple gems
  • a share of Paper Butterfly Accents
  • 12 envelopes
  • The PDF tutorial with photos & step by step directions

  This kit does not include stamps or inks. You'll need greetings, purple ink & adhesives to complete the cards. I used the Charming Sentiments set. 

  Click here to reserve your kit for $28 plus shipping. 

  I have a limited supply of these kits; do not wait long to reserve yours!  The kits will be mailed out at the end of February. The PDF tutorial will be sent via email immediately after payment. Check your junk folder. 

  I have 6 other pre-cut card kits & 1 scrapbook kit available in my shop right now.  Save on shipping and order more than one! 

  Here's a photo of the other new February kit or tutorial I'm offering.

• Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

  February 5, 2024

  ---

  I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.  

  

  There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

  • The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
  • The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
  • The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
  • The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
  • The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
  • The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
  • See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
  • The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

  But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it! 

  

  There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below. 

  

  You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

  I hope you like this pretty, fun fold card!  It was a hit with my Club gals. 

  

  Here's the video tutorial for this card and a few more featuring some of these products.  Plus lots of product tips too!
