This card features the beautiful Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I just love this stamp set!  The leaves are so easy to create with.  And the black & white DSP in the back is called Botanical Textures seen here.

This stamp set is in a bundle with the wonderful Textured Notes dies.  See the bundle here.  

This Bendy card is super simple to make.  The back is scored in the center plus the center white and the lower black have scored tabs on the side that allows the entire card to bend.  Be sure to check out the video & free project sheet below.

Below is one of the ways I stamped the back. Watch the video below to see another version.

• Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper

  July 20, 2021

  ---

  This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow.  It could be a lot, or just a little.  We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'.  I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!  

  This first card was made by Barb.  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.

  I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper!  What a well coordinated card!  I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring.   And look at her inside!  She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!

  Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper.  You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.  

  She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set.  She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.

  I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

  I chose the Right Behind You stamp set for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  Here's my card:

  This set is adorable!  And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it.

  Details:

  • I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
  • I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds.  Get my tips on this in the video below or click here. 
  • I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket. 
  • The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die. 
  • I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
  • I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle. 
  • The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink.

  As you can see it's an easy fun fold card.  Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card.  Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

  I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.

  Click on the video below to watch me make this card; it's the first project on this FB Live replay.  *You can also see how I made the Pinwheel Tower cards in the photo below.

  I shared this super fun card on Tuesday's FB Live video.  The video is shown below.  Or click here to watch on my FB page.  Don't forget to follow me so you are notified when I go live.

  I used the Sweet Symmetry designer paper and the In  Symmetry stamp set.  Colors are Night of Navy, Just Jade, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo.  I also used Holiday rhinestones for the bling. 

  This has to be one of the easiest fun fold cards I've made that's also totally unique. And it uses an exact 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock. On each panel you can add a perfect layer (2 1/2" X 4") or have fun adding various pieces of CS or DSP and greetings or stamped images.  

  Here are the measurements for you:
