Check out these Team swap cards!

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! 

August Karen Truck 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. 

August Sharon Cheerful Daisy 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. 

August Mary Little Details 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:

  • Dressed to Impress Best Dressed Triple Fold card

    The retired list will be out this afternoon.

    Stop back in to see it or click here to see it all in my store.

    Here's the Best Dressed fun fold card I promised you yesterday.  (See the Ornate Garden cards here.) 

    Best dressed fun fold both Save

    Look at this cute fun fold card!  See how the paper matches up across the three panels?  So clever! **Watch the video here on Facebook. 

    This card is standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" but you score it at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" to get the triple fold. 

    Best Dressed fun fold Save

    The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut the Best Dressed paper into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

    Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4". 

    Best Dressed fun fold 2a Save

    I added a pretty die-cut border cut from the Ornate Borders die; love the eyelet detail on it!  The set of dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock in early May.
    The greeting layers are cut using the Stitched Nested Labels and the flowers and leaves are stamped and fussy cut. The colors are Old Olive and Purple Posy. 

    The stamps are all from the Dressed to Impress stamp set seen here. 


    Best Dressed fun fold 2a Save

    The die-cuts here are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies from the mini catalog; also currently out of stock and unavailable.  They should be back in next week. The colors here are Lovely Lipstick and Mint Macaron.

  • Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

    I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

    Ornate Garden Fun Fold cards Save

    They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

    Ornate Garden So Saffron close up Save

    The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

    Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

    The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

    Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?

    I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

    You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

    Ornate Garden Fun Fold Terracotta Save

    This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.  

    Ornate Garden Fun Fold Terracotta Save

    I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons!

    The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.

  • Two days left and they’ll be gone!

    Be sure to order by Wednesday before they're gone!  

    I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets.  These cards are going out to my family this week.  

    2018 retiring in colors Save

    I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

    Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:
