Daisy Garden with Picture This dies

Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Daisy Garden stamp set and today it's a totally different type of card.  

Daisy Garden Picture This Save

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The daisy stamp peeks out from behind the window die cut circles made with the Picture This dies on a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black CS.  Can you see the stitches?

These dies include both a large set of circles and another with three rectangles.  You can use the windows like shown above or the die cut circles or rectangles which I used here for the greeting.

Check out the Picture This dies here. 

And here is another way to use these dies; with Designer Paper behind the window.  It's the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper seen here; it was unavailable for almost a month.  And it was in stock for a week but it's unavailable again now until early August.  It's so popular!

  • AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card

    We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

    August Jacki Gone Fishing Save

    Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

    She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

    August Gone Fishing inside Save

    Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

    I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

    I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….

    All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.

  • Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps

    Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front.  I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more: 

    First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

    August Paula Earthen Textures Save

    She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!  

    Lots of details and textures here:

    1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush. 
    2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer. 
    3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece  as a second decorative element.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"

    ~~~

    Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper: 

    August Annette Masterfully Made Save

    It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front.  But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper! 

    Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock?  It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front.  She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front.  What a neat idea!  

    Here's the inside view.  She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.  

    I believe her measurements are: 

    • DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.  
    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)

    August Candy Sweet & Precious Save

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4"
    • Pretty Peacock 4" square

    Details:

    • She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers. 
    • The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
    • The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
    • The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.

  • Check out these Team swap cards!

    Today I'm sharing a few of our August Flowerbug's Team swaps.  Our theme was to create a card without a greeting on the front.  It was quite the challenge for some of us!!  

    First is a fractured card made by Karen.  She shared how to make it and we were all blown away by how easy it is! 

    August Karen Truck Save

    I loved it so much I shared how to make it in a recent video.  See it here and my blog post here. 

    She featured the Inked Botanicals designer paper and the Trucking Along bundle.  The Truck builder punch is unavailable at this time; it will be back in October.  Her card base & 1/4" strips are Calypso Coral.  Love that truck full of flowers!

    Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Cheerful Daisies bundle seen here. 

    August Sharon Cheerful Daisy Save

    She added lots of die-cut daisies & leaves; some are sponged. She added the circles image (from Timeless Arrangements) using the Baby Wipe method.  Love this look!  And after stamping the circles she textured it with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders (online exclusive).  Plus she colored the White glittered ribbon (another online exclusive) by sponging on color.  So many great details! 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary who featured the Darling Details bundle seen here. 

    August Mary Little Details Save

    The pretty & delicate frame adds beautiful detail to the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in the center.  Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry.  

    This wonderful bundle may have slipped your notice; here's a photo of both the stamp set & dies:
