Check out these fabulous Christmas scene cards by the Flowerbug’s!

I love seeing what my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  Everyone has their own style and I'm proud to share them with you this week. 

First is a sweet card by Candace who featured the North Pole Mischief stamp set. 

Oct Candace North Pole Mischief Save

I love the Red frame she added to the card; it's from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  She used Blends markers to color the images and added Red Rhinestones to set off the scene.  

Here's the inside view; so cute!

Next is a fun card made by Annette who featured the Penguin Place stamp set & Penguin Builder punch. These products are returning favorites from last year and many were super happy about it since the punch ran out of stock last year before some could grab it. 

Oct Annette PenquinPlace Save

I absolutely love the scene she achieved using the Layering Diorama dies seen here!  She used Starry Sky CS on the back, stamping the stars using White Craft ink.  Then she added a layer of Orchid Oasis behind the penguin that looks like water.  So smart!

Lastly is a pretty card made by Marla.  She used the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch.  

She stamped the trio of trees across the background and then one large tree in the foreground. It gives such depth to the scene.

I also like the way she used the Pearlized Enamel effects basics for her tree ornaments.  The stamped blue snowflakes in the sky finish the scene off perfectly!

Stay tuned for more amazing swap cards by my Team.

  • Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

    Save

    You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

    My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

    Save

    This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

    Save

    The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

  • Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP

    I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

    Save

    Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

    When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

    Save

    The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
    I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

  • Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

    Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

    Save

    It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

    Save


    Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

    Save

    Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
    I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

    Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

    Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.
