Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in.  I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.  

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match.  It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!  

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies.  You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles.  What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame!  See it here in the online store. 

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first.  Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center.  Then huff and stamp.  Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

  • Beautiful Monochromatic card swaps using designer series paper


    These are the last few swaps for our June swap theme of 'using designer paper' on a card.  

    Annette created this one with the Earthen Elegance designer paper and Nature's Prints stamp set. 

    It's gorgeous in our new Pecan Pie color with Very Vanilla.  There's just something about monochromatic cards! 

    Measurements:

    • Pecan Pie card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", layer is 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 2 1/2" X 4" and 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Designer paper 2" X 5 1/4"

    Next is Paula's card; it's a fun fold card featuring the Inked Botanicals designer paper. It's another monochromatic card! She folded back her front card base to show off the designer paper on the inside.  


    She used the Darling Details bundle for her greeting, flowers & leaves. The greeting die-cut is made with the new Nested Essentials dies. 

    Measurements:

    • Lost Lagoon card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" 
    • DSP left front 1" X 5 1/4", front fold (and inside front fold) is 1 1/4" X 5 1/4" and inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside is 2" X 5 1/4" 

    Love how she added designer paper everywhere!

  • Designer Paper swap card ideas by my Team


    I have more Team swaps to share with you today.  Our theme for June was to feature designer series paper. 

    *Remember our designer papers are all discounted in June! It's a great time to grab the packs you want.  *see them all here

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

    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.  

    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 

    I'll share the rest of this month's swaps tomorrow.

  • Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team


    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.  

    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

    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.  

    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! 

    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!
