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.

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:

Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts

February 13, 2020

I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!

Save

What is a 5 sheet wonder? See the templates above the cards here? Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards. Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines! My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy. See them all here.

The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper. First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards. Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!

Pleased as Punch; another fun fold card with optional pocket

February 12, 2020
I am loving the spring-like Pleased as Punch designer paper; it's available now while supplies last! See it here. I highly suspect this paper will run out before the end of March. I have no inside information but it's happened before and if you really want it; don't wait! click here to get yours.

I knew I wanted to make the focus of this card a square shape so I could add four pieces of the Designer Paper on the front with the greeting on top. So I had to figure out a way for the side to be separate. I rarely make square cards so this was my compromise.

I adhered the side flap to the card base just at the outside edges to form a pocket. This is for either money or a gift card.

- Front greeting is Seriously the Best stamp set. I cut apart the 'Hello Friend' greeting so I could ink it up separately.

- Front stitched die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies

Power of Hope meets Peacock Foil

February 11, 2020
For our February Flowerbug's Team swap we chose to do a swap featuring Sale-a-Bration cards. They are all fantastic! Over the top wonderful. I cannot wait to share them all with you.

Here's the one I made using the Power of Hope bundle seen here. It's one of the free items you receive with purchase during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from now through March 31st; or while supplies last. I do suspect this will sell out before March is over.

I textured the Noble Peacock Foil (seen here) with the Stone embossing folder from this bundle. Adding texture to this pretty foil brings it over the top! I also added a layer of vellum and a few flags of Peacock foil. It comes in 6 single-sided sheets of 12 X 12" foil paper. 2 each of 3 colors: Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock. There are Noble Peacock rhinestones that match this paper perfectly.

Measurements:
- White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White stamped layer 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"
- Vellum 2 3/4" X 4"
- Foil paper 2 1/2" X 4 3/4" plus two 3/8" strips
- Black 4" X 5 1/4"
