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!

• Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

  July 23, 2021

  ---

  I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

  I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

  Save

  I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

  The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

  In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!

• Nature’s Harvest & Harvest Meadow Sneak Peak!

  July 22, 2021

  Here's a sneak peak of a few products from the upcoming 2021 Holiday Catalog.

  I used the new bundle called Nature's Harvest and the coordinating Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. From the Annual Catalog I used the two dies called Tailored Tags and Stitched Leaves.  These are going to be one of my 'go to's'!  Click on the photo to see them in my store.

  The colors here are Cinnamon Cider, White & Soft Succulent. I stamped the flowers in Soft Succulent ink and water-colored them with ink and an aqua-brush.  The die-cut in the bundle cuts it out perfectly.  The greeting is heat embossed with White powder.   

  Measurements:

  • Cinnamon Cider card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", plus a 3/8" X 5 1/4" strip
  • Soft Succulent 1" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for greeting
  • Harvest Meadow DSP 3" X 5 1/4"
