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.

    I was so excited when I saw the Frames & Flowers designer paper in the new catalog. It has multiple sheets of pre-cut elements that coordinate with the paper.  This makes it so easy to create with as you don't have to stamp or die-cut additional pieces.

  • Spotlight on Nature fun fold card; free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the second card I created on last week's Live video.  Both feature new in colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. 

    I created a free project sheet with the measurements, photos and supplies.  Click on the blue link to print or download it. Download Spotlight on Nature flap fold

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June for a savings of almost $6. See it here.  

    This card really shows off the two embossing folders I used.  On the card below I used the Dotted Circles 3D folder seen here. It's an extra large folder (6" X 8 1/2") that has very deep texture.  It's Shy Shamrock with Pretty in Pink. The designer paper is the Unbounded Beauty. 

    The card below features the Eyelet 3D folder which is quite pretty & delicate. See it here. This card is Petunia Pop with Shy Shamrock. 

    Do you notice the difference in the greetings?  I fussy cut one to add to the In Color Glimmer paper and the other I simply trimmed the ends at an angle. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  I also share another fun fold card using this bundle. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're there.
