Check out these Team Swaps!

The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

Save

She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

~~~

Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

Save

Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

~~~

Next is a pretty card from Kim.

Save

She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

  Here are two more cards made by my talented Flowerbugs! Both used the Expressions in Ink suite. 

  Candace made this first one using a nice piece of the beautiful Expressions in Ink specialty DSP.  She stamped her greeting and leaves directly onto the DSP using Evening Evergreen ink.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Then she stamped the large flower on a separate piece of White CS and die-cut it out using the Artistic Dies.  Lovely!

  Tracey made this one using just the Artistically Inked stamp set.  She stamped all of her images on the White CS and added that to a layer of textured White CS.  She used the Timber 3D embossing folder.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  You can see she added a bit of sponging to the embossed layer to really bring out the texture.

• What’s Cookin’ & All For Baby card ideas

  November 26, 2021

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two cards made by sisters on my Flowerbugs Team.  They're so talented and I love to see what they make for our swaps.  

  First is an amazing card made by Jonna.  She used the What's Cookin' bundle seen here.  I LOVE her colors and how she created a tablecloth from the patterned paper by placing it on an angle.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She stamped & die-cut the cooking elements and added it to the 'table'.  The White background is textured with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  

  The greeting is stamped and punched out with the Everyday Label punch. It's neat how she used it vertically instead of the usual way. 

  Next is a sweet baby card made by Jacki featuring the All for Baby bundle seen here.  Her colors are Just Jade & Basic White.  The baby outfit is stamped in Just Jade ink and die-cut; then added with the hanger die-cut.  The designer paper is from our In color patterned paper packs – we have 6 sets of these in all of our color families.

  That little rhinestone on the hanger is a great addition. I love the simplicity of this card; it really showcases the outfit & greeting.

• Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

  November 25, 2021

  Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

  There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper.  Gorgeous just fits.  

  Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members. 

  First is Annette's pretty card.  I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card.  You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper!  See it here.

  She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting.  I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too. 

  Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder.  Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card. 

  I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper.  Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.

  Measurements: 

  • Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge
  • DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip 
  • Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip 
  • inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
  • Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"
