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! 

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. 

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:

  • A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!


    Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

    Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

    Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

    I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

    Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

    Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

    The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!

  • Quick All Aflutter card with the Extraordinary Washi tape


    Here’s a sweet card made with both the All Aflutter bundle and the Extraordinary Washi tape:

    My colors include Calypso Coral, Old Olive and White. The Arches dies used in White here give a wonderful focal point to highlight the butterflies, greeting and flowers from the Washi tape. Unfortunately they are out of stock currently; but see them here and put your email in to get notified when they’re back in stock.

    The background texture on the Old Olive layer is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder. This folder is super popular and out of stock right now. Again, please add your email to be notified when it’s available.

    I love the Extraordinary Washi tape with coordinating die. You can cut out lots of colored flowers and leaves with ONE CUT! I save the extras to use them when I need just a little something extra. See the Washi tape here (you get 10 yards!) and the coordinating die-cut here. There’s also a bundle you can get here; it includes both the stamps and die-cut.

    It’s simple to use this washi tape! Start by adhering a strip of it to white card stock (vellum or window sheet also works). Then use the die-cut to cut all of the pieces out.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it out.

    See the All Aflutter bundle here.

    There’s also a video tutorial for this card and another sweet All Aflutter fun fold card. See it below.
