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!

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: 

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)

Next is a book binding fun fold card made by Candy. She featured the Sweet & Precious stamp set seen here.  

Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock. 

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.

  • Beautiful Traditions of Christmas kit to go or tutorial; reserve yours soon


    One of my October kits to go & tutorials features the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas designer paper. Each card is a fun fold too!

    I love the floral and traditional patterns in this pack of specialty paper. It has gold foil accents and a wonderful variety of colors.

    You can choose between the pre-cut kit to go or the PDF tutorial. The kit includes almost $20 in Stampin’ Up! products AND the pre-cut cards too. The product includes 1/2 pkg of the DSP, a share of Sparkly Sequins and Olive linen thread.

    I include the die-cuts & punched pieces too. Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper share which is 6″ X 12″ – or one half package. You will need your own inks and greeting sentiments plus adhesives of course.

    Opt in for the pre-cut kit to go here for $31.

    Or the PDF tutorial here. The tutorial and exclusive video will be emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step instructions.

  • I finished the Handmade & Heartfelt kit; it’s so cool!


    I played with this fun kit yesterday and made 13 cards! This neat card kit is discounted through today only. It would make a fabulous gift or enjoy it for yourself. see it here

    It’s a 10 card kit with envelopes, a stamp set, a storage box, ink spot and more. I added a few extra card bases and got an extra 3 cards from it.
    Here are my bonus cards:

    See the lower right card? I used the template from the lower left card to sponge Secret Sea ink through the holes to create the starburst pattern. When I did this I did it on the back side so I could still use it on the ‘thanks’ card.

    Below are a few more cards I changed up from the original plan. It’s so fun to do this. Even though it’s a pre-planned card kit I love adding my own spin on them.

    The cards, envelopes, stamp set etc all fit in the organizer box that’s includes. What a great way to store your cards! See this kit here.

  • Artistic Leaves with Gathering Together with an easy card sketch plan


    Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. I wanted to feature a card sketch my Flowerbug’s are currently using.

    Besides the Artistic Leaves stamp set I also used the Gathering Moments bundle and the Gathering Together specialty designer paper with this sketch:

    You might wonder what a sketch is… It’s a layout of boxes or shapes to indicate where you might add layers such as card stock, designer paper, punches or die-cuts.

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Gold and Vanilla.

    Here’s the sketch if you want to save it for an idea. I truly believe card sketches are a fabulous way to get inspiration when creating. Remember that a sketch is just the beginning; you can change it up in any way depending on what products you’re using.

    The measurements are also include in the free project sheet I created. Click here to download or print it.

    I hope you watch the video below to catch the tips and also to see the other beautiful autumn leaf card.
