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.

  • A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!


    Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!  

    We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes. 

    This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here.  This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below. 

    **Check out these other projects featuring these dies – here and here.

    If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them.  Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me!  *see details below

    The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut.  Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

    We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors. 

    Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.  

    The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here.  It's a big favorite of mine this season.  

    The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers.  *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock! 

    **Here's the free project sheet for this pretty card:  Download Sept '23 Autumn Leaves card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card; and another autumn-themed fun fold card as well.
