Happy Birthday to You SAB set swaps

February 19, 2020

Two more pretty card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team today. These two cards are similar in layout but still so different.

This Happy Birthday to You stamp set (seen here) is free with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. And now there is a set of dies to match! Click on the photo below to see those. My customers love it when there are dies to match; no fussy cutting!

First is Deloris's card in Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight.

She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for her White layer and the greeting. The cake and the flowers are cut out with the Birthday Dies seen above. She colored the images with Blends markers. The texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.

Next is Karen's card; she used Pacific Point with Daffodil Delight and Silver foil

Save

Her stamped cake and the Silver cake stand are cut out with the Birthday dies. She textured her Pacific Point layer with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.

Like I said; these two cards are similar but not!

This pretty stamp set fits just about any celebration that involves cake; which in our family is just about everything!

Queen Anne’s Lace cards

September 26, 2020
I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple. I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more! Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon. But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

Save

This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit. Read about that here! It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product! Pay just $99 and get $200! And FREE Shipping too!

I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left. That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together! Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all.

Measurements:
- Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
- Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
- Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3"
I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found. It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy!

Save

Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week. Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors! Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.

Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!

September 25, 2020
Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota. Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.

Save

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink. Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink. Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon. It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:
- The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper. I did sponge the edges with Black ink.
- The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut.
- The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2"
I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!
