Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!


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! 

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!

  • Create this eye-catching scene with ink and blending brushes; video tutorial too!


    Here's another card I created on last week's video. Do you love colorful scenes too? 

    Here I used Cloud Cover cardstock for my base; scored it an extra time to create a flap near the center. This is a great way to add the main element of your card.  In this case it's a stamped and colored tree scene on our new Party Banner dies.  

    I found the Peaceful Pier stamp set seen here to be perfect for my scenes. It's a great line-art set you don't have to color in, as you can see in my example.

    I am now adding my project sheets to my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group the same day I share the live video.  Click here to join the group. 

    I used these inks for blending; from bottom to top – Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Cloud Cover. Blending brushes make it easy to add ink smoothly. But there are tricks to it!  

    Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes.  I hope you watch it!

  • How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.  

    I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.  

    I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes.  I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky. 

    I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.  

    After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I love the dimension this gives to the card scene.

  • Celebratory Sips card kit to go with PDF tutorial option & exclusive video!


    Here's my newest pre-cut card kit to go – featuring the Celebratory Sips designer series paper.  I love that this paper is so unique; something we haven't had before. 

    There are 10 cards in this kit; most are fun fold layouts too.  This paper was super fun to play with.  I love how the cards turned out!  

    The kit includes 1/2 pkg of the Celebratory Sips DSP (6" X 12), a share of both 1/8" gold trim and Low-profile gems.  Plus you get the pdf tutorial free!  It also includes an exclusive video tutorial. 

    This kit will be ailed out at the end of June;  reserve your Celebratory Sips pre-cut card kit to go here.  

    Or choose the PDF tutorial here for $16. 

    I also added two other new kits to my shop too.  You can save on shipping and get more for your $$ when you purchase more than one kit. See them all here. 

    First is the Painted Petals 12 card kit – created with a former Paper Pumpkin kit but jazzed up with extra cards & product. See it here. 

    Next is the Daisy Daydream 12 card kit – also created with a previous Paper Pumpkin kit – I changed up the cards, added 3 extra cards, gems & ribbon added. See it here.
