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.

Save

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!

Save

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!

First up is a gorgeous card made by Ginny featuring the Masterfully Made DSP seen here.

Save
She also used the coordinating bundle called Gorgeously Made seen here. Her colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Bubble Bath and a bit of vellum. The greeting, leaves and torn notebook edge are all dies in this bundle.

Next is a pretty birthday card made by Sharon. She featured the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here.

Save

She also used the Gold Celebrations 12 X 12 specialty paper too. See the confetti gold acetone on the blue balloon? She also added a few dies and embossing folders as well. Natural Prints dies for the greeting and the Countryside Corners dies for the Misty Moonlight & Berry Burst die-cuts, the Basics 3D (online exclusive) and Cane Weave 3D folders

Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team

June 22, 2023
Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.

This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.

Save
It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not! It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side!

Measurements are as follows:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
- Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right. *same on the inside
Save

It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base. So cool and smart! I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.

She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here. If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.

She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.

Save

Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?) She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker!

Save

It's a 'book-binding' card fold. Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.

Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.

The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!

Here is another fun fold card I made on last week's Tuesday video. If you'd like to watch me live, join me on Tuesday's at 11 am CT here on Facebook or see them later on my YouTube channel here.

This card features the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and a favorite card theme of 'Black & White with a pop of color'.

Save

The pretty floral paper sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP chose the color theme. I fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add to my stitched circle die-cut. I mimicked the dots in the DSP and used the Dots & Spots die on a piece of the Fresh Freesia card stock.

This Delightfully Eclectic designer paper is on sale now in June. See it here.

The measurements are listed in the photo below.

Here are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.
