Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!

This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here. 

Save

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

• Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

  August 1, 2024

  This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

  Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

  Save

  See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

  Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

  Save

  Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

  Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

  Save

  I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

  Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

  The sled and ice skates are incredibly realistic! This new Sled bundle is amazing. You can see it here.

  It's a really neat fun fold card where the right front flap overlaps the left layer of designer paper. She featured the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper here too.

  Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

  Save

  Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not. 

  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable! 

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

  This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers. 

  The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here. 

  Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous! 

  Save

  Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.  

  Save

  The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle. 

  Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works. 

  Save

  Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

  Save

  Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.  

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
