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! 

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!

• Beautiful Fall card swaps!

  October 5, 2021

  ---

  Look at these stunning swaps made by my Team.  Our theme for September's swap was autumn cards. 

  Annette created this first one using a innovative sponging technique 

  Save

  I'm sure you cannot guess how she did this …..! 

  It features the Welcoming Woods stamp set seen here. She used a variety of colors like Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  

  Here's how she did it: She gathered up a sheet of plastic wrap and dabbed it in ink a few times.  Then she dabbed it horizontally across her stamped image piece.  With each color change, she re-rolled the plastic wrap & blended the previous one a bit to achieve a beautiful sunset look.

  She added some of the leaves from the stamp set to the inside as well.

• Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder

  October 1, 2021

  ---

  Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here.  I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them. 

  First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn.  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry. 

  Save

  It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.  

  Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one.  Neat effect! 

  Measurements: 

  • Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
  • Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4" 

  ~~~

  Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here. 

  She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper.  This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55.  It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards! 

  Save

  Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee. 

  Measurements:

  • Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
  • Cork 1" X 4 1/2"
  • Bumblebee 1/4" X 4 1/2" strip
