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.

• Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

  October 23, 2023

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here. 

  When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

  

  It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have.  I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.  

  My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.  

  It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch.  Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom.  You can see how this is done in the video below.

  Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps.  This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock!  It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.

• Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free project sheet & video

  October 20, 2023

  I featured the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle on a recent Live video.  Here's one of them: 

  It's a fun fold card that also has a gift card holder inside. You can see the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle here in our online store.  It's a cute punch bundle with a nice variety of greetings & more. 

  Products used:

  • Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper
  • Merry Melody embossing folder
  • Deckled Rectangle dies

  Below is a photo of the inside. It might be hard to see the gift card pocket on the inside left.  Scroll down to the other photo of the inside.  Isn't this greeting wonderful?  It's my favorite one in the set:

  I made a second version on my video; but reversed the colors. I used Pool Party & Real Red.  Which do you prefer?  Watch the video here.  

  
  

  You can see how the gift card is slipped into the inside left pocket, formed when you fold back the card stock on the left edge.  

  Measurements are included in the free project sheet seen above.  

  Below is the video on this card and two others. I'll share the project sheets for the other cards soon.

• Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

  October 19, 2023

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

  First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

  

  She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

  Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
  • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
  • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

  Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

  

  Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

  • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
  • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
  • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

  She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

  

  The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

  Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.
