Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

Save

The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

Measurements:

• Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• White – 5 1/4" X 4"
• Black 3 3/4" square
• Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

• 2 Pretty Team card swaps with neat technique ideas!

  March 12, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two Team Swaps from last month.  Both have neat product ideas.

  First is Tracey's cute card. Can you guess what the tiny scallops on the DSP is?  

  Save

  She used the Petal Pink scalloped ribbon under the DSP! Tracey has a special gift on fun ways to use ribbon & twine. This effect is so pretty & delicate looking.  It's currently in low inventory. 

  Measurements:

  The DSP is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4", the White 5 1/4" X 4", the card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The layer under the ribbon & DSP is 5 1/4 X 2"

  Save

  Here is a list of the many products she used:

  • Hugs for Love bundle seen here (punch will be available in April)
  • Moody Mauve, Basic White & Pretty in Pink CS
  • Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP seen here
  • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
  • 2 3/8" circle punch
  • Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder (circle) 
  • Heat embossing technique

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card made by Lori. Her special technique surprised me!  Do you spot it?

  Save

  She stitched her die-cut circle (Spotlight on Nature) with the 3 color pack of Baker's Twine!  

  Her card base is Flirty Flamingo and the 4" X 5 1/4" CS layer is textured with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.  The pretty DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions (now retired). The greeting & die-cuts are from the Memorable Blooms bundle seen here. 

  I'll share more Team swaps tomorrow!

• You are Remarkable fun fold card with the new Botanical Textures DSP & Arches dies

  March 11, 2025

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's FB Live.  I made it for an online card swap.  I just love it! 

  Save

  It's a simple fold back card with the Arches dies and the new You Are  remarkable stamp set.  Here's what it looks like opened: I love the double Arches dies here! These dies are in low inventory AGAIN.  See them here.    

  Save

  The You Are Remarkable stamp set (seen here) is both a 2-step stamp and a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of ink with one stamping.  I like that you can stamp the flower and leaves separately in different color inks from the single outline stamp.  Note the inside flower image above that I stamped without the outline.  I like it just as well this way too!  

  I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download You Are Remarkable Arches card

  Below is the video with this fun fold card and another pretty card using this pretty stamp set.
