Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

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:

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.

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.

• A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

  July 3, 2025

  ---

  I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background. 

  Save

  You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

  Here are the steps:

  1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
  2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
  3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
  4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
  5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

  What do you think?  

  This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

• Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

  July 2, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video.  It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

  Save

  The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  

  I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts. 

  The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.  

  I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!  

  As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder! 

  Save

  You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.   

  Save

  I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .       Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

  You can see the card fully opened below.  I love this easy but fun card fold.

  You'll find the video tutorial for this card and another Sailing card below. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're watching!  

  I'll share another card with this bundle on Wednesday.
