Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!

August 21, 2022

Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August. I hope you get some inspiration from them.

First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog. Or click here.

Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce. She colored the images in with Blends markers. I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!

The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP. It is currently out of stock but will return in September.

Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.

She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.

We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen. She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August. Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!

We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun!

It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card!

Save

I'll list them here:

Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

March 24, 2020

How are you all doing? Staying home and safe; if you can? I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you! I feel for you! It's a scary world out there right now. Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before. We're just not used to being restricted!

Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives. It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products.

I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party. The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles. Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper. I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!

You can see them all here.

Fun Fold Cards with Flowering Foils specialty DSP

March 23, 2020
There's a simple way to change up a white foil accented paper into colored foil paper. With the direct to ink technique. 'What's that?' It's where you tap or rub the ink pad directly onto your paper. Yes; you can do that! Look at these cards that feature the Flowering Foils specialty designer series paper. This gorgeous paper is still in stock and it's FREE with any $50 order!
