Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

Her measurements are:

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
  • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • Have you seen the clever Happy Houseplants kit?!


    One of our most unique kits lately is the Happy Houseplant kit.  It includes 4 frames with everything you need to create adorable home decor!  

    It's in our Kit Collection seen here and is all inclusive. That means it includes everything you need to create the 4 pieces of framed art all for just $25. They're 7" square when finished.

    I think they're perfect to place in a hall, bathroom or a guest room.  Maybe near a real plant as a coordinating accent. 

    A few tips on putting these together. The clear acrylic cover sheet has adhesive on both sides for protection.  Remove them before assembling. 

    See how 3D they are?  I used a bone folder to curl the plants a bit. The kit comes with Dimensionals for adding an elevated look. 

    Because the pre-cut plant layers are meant to be popped up for a 3D look I added foam adhesive strips seen here to the edges of my frame after I added the clear acrylic sheet. *don't look too close; I added the adhesive strips to the frame edges before I added the clear sheet and had to remove them!

    I love the plants & pots this kit creates. What a beautiful set of home decor art! 

    This kit would make a fabulous gift for someone who has a new home and needs art, someone who likes to craft but not collect, or someone who is redecorating.

  • Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2


    Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

    First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

    I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

    The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

    It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

    I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

    Measurements:

    • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
    • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal. 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

    This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
    • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
    • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

    ~~~

    Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

    She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

    Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!
