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.

  • Gather Together Tag Punch Fun Fold


    Check out this fun fold card Deloris made for a recent Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds from the 2020 Holiday catalog. 

    She used the Gather Together bundle seen here and the Scalloped Tag Topper punch seen here.  


    Her colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso & Sahara Sand.  The tag punch is pushed in to create the design on both edges and then the sides are trimmed with a paper trimmer.  A really lovely design!  

    I'll be sharing more of my Team Fun-fold card swaps next week!

  • Gift Wrapped Fun Fold card!


    Look at this super cute Fun Fold card featuring the Gift Wrapped bundle seen here! 

    I LOVE the bright, eye-catching colors she choose; Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade.  Can you see that she used both the Light & Dark colors in these Blends markers?  

    She also used the Wink of Stella on the punched bow and 'ribbon' on the front. See that cute baby tag?  That's part of the punch too! 

    Can you see how the front flap catches on the greeting on the left?  Love this! 

    Measurements: 

    • Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" and 3" X 6" scored at 3" and two 1/2" X 2 3/4" strips and a 1" X 1 1/4" piece for the greeting layer
    • Poppy Parade 2 3/4" square
    • Whisper White 4" X 5 1/4" plus a 2 3/4" square for inside the smaller flip area and scraps for the Tasteful Labels die-cut, and ribbon punches.
