• Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors

  May 24, 2024

  ---

  Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

  Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

  

  She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper.  The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D. 

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
  • Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
  • Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
  • DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2" 

  Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper. 

  

  Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here.  She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.

  Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash. 

  

  She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!  

  It's a center fold pop up card!  I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make.  She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.  

  

  Isn't this an amazing card?  It looks so challenging to make! 

  I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video.  I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

  Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula.  You were right; this card was easier than I thought!

• Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!

  May 23, 2024

  Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

  First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

  

  This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

  

  The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

  

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
  • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
  • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

  Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

  

  I shared another version of this card here last week.  

  To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

  Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 

  
  

  Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
  • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
  • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

  I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!

• Fabulous Team Swaps!

  May 22, 2024

  We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made. 

  First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.  

  

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze.  Gorgeous!!  The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

  

  There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

  Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.  

  

  See the stamp set here and the dies here.  They were a bundle in the Spring catalog and carried over into the new Annual Catalog. 

  The designer paper is the Countryside Inn DSP seen here that carried over and is now online. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Black card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Misty Moonlight – 4" X 8 1/2" score at 5 1/4"
  • Black center fold 2 1/2" X 8" score at 4"
  • White 2 1/4" X 4" front and inside; greeting banner 3" X 5/8" 
  • Assorted card stock for tools 
  • DSP – front 3 3/4" X 3" and inside is 3 3/4" X 5"
