Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!

June 16, 2020

I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'. It's such a fun technique!

I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here). What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.

I have some great tips on doing this technique.

Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2".
Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide.
Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping.
Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first!
Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps!
Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5"). Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long. I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent. I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here. She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.

Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic! The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back!

Fabulous Team Swaps!

May 22, 2024
We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made.

First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze. Gorgeous!! The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

Save

There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.
