Check out these Team swap cards!

August 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few of our August Flowerbug's Team swaps. Our theme was to create a card without a greeting on the front. It was quite the challenge for some of us!!

First is a fractured card made by Karen. She shared how to make it and we were all blown away by how easy it is!

Save

I loved it so much I shared how to make it in a recent video. See it here and my blog post here.

She featured the Inked Botanicals designer paper and the Trucking Along bundle. The Truck builder punch is unavailable at this time; it will be back in October. Her card base & 1/4" strips are Calypso Coral. Love that truck full of flowers!

Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Cheerful Daisies bundle seen here.

Save

She added lots of die-cut daisies & leaves; some are sponged. She added the circles image (from Timeless Arrangements) using the Baby Wipe method. Love this look! And after stamping the circles she textured it with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders (online exclusive). Plus she colored the White glittered ribbon (another online exclusive) by sponging on color. So many great details!

Next is a pretty card made by Mary who featured the Darling Details bundle seen here.

Save

The pretty & delicate frame adds beautiful detail to the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in the center. Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry.

This wonderful bundle may have slipped your notice; here's a photo of both the stamp set & dies:

You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue. The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper. The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP! The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.

Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut? I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.
