Check out the Last of the July Team swaps


Today I'm sharing the last of our July Team swap cards. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

Jackie made this special fun fold card that has a gift card option: 

It's held together with a belly band with a greeting attached. She used the Bright & Beautiful designer paper – it carried over from last year's annual catalog and can be seen online here. 

Products used:

  • Her greeting is from the Layering Leaves set
  • Greeting dies are from Something Fancy seen here
  • The texture is from the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here

The front right flap folds back and is secured at the top and bottom leaving space to add a gift card or money if you'd like. 

Measurements:

  • Blueberry Bushel card base 11" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/4", 5 1/2", 9 1/4"
  • Designer paper left front & inside panels 1" X 5 1/4", right front panel is 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
  • White inside 3 5/8" X 5", textured right panel 3 1/4" X 5"
  • Black inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Belly band 7 1/2" X 3/4"

Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here. 

Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!


    I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black.   You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.  

    Which one do you prefer? 

    The reviews were mixed.  Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more.  But others liked the White for a softer look. 

    The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut.  See these dies here and the bundle here.  

    The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.  The oval is from the Double Oval punch. 

    Below is the video where I demo'd this card.  Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!

  • Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?


    I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite.  Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?  

    My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink.  See it here or on page 96-97.  It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds.  Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!  

    Here's a close up of the card.  Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?  

    Yes; I did stamp it!  These images are so neat!  I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps.  See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..! 

    And look at the leaves die-cuts!  I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper.  The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies. 

    Here's the FB Live replay video.  Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it.  FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.

  • Inspired Thoughts Bundle; a beautiful scene


    I created this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  I just love it!

    The main 4 trees die-cut can be cut apart which opens a whole world of possibilities! 

    Here's how I made it:

    1. Die-cut the trees and hill using the Inspiring Canopy dies (seen below).  
    2. Cut the 4 trees apart at the bottom connection point. Set aside.
    3. Sponge clouds using Pool Party ink onto the 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS.  I used the Basic Border dies (cloud).
    4. Sponge Calypso Coral ink onto the bottom third of this piece. 
    5. Adhere the trees to the edge of each side. 
    6. Add the hill piece; trim off excess from hill and trees. Adhere to the Calypso Coral card base. 
    7. Finish with Genial Gems.  

    You can see the beautiful Inspired Thoughts bundle here.
