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.

  • Stack & Cut cards with Dandy Designs & Something Fancy with PDF project sheet & template download!


    I LOVE the cards I'm sharing with you today!!  So much!  

    They're 'Stack & Cut' cards using an easy template I'll share below.  I created these for last week's Facebook Live.  The Dandy Design SAB designer paper features gorgeous color combinations like this one: 

    Who would have thought Balmy Blue & Coastal Cabana would be so pretty together?!  I sure didn't.  But with the small prints and the addition of White & Pool Party it works beautifully. 

    Each set of cards feature this neat Dandy Designs designer paper seen here.  This huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets is free during Sale-a-Bration with any $100 purchase.  

    For each of these sets of cards I also featured the Something Fancy bundle.  It's one of my top picks. See it here.  The greetings are great but the dies!  WOW; the tags and layers are perfect!  

    Add this bundle to your order and you're over half way towards getting the Dandy Designs paper pack free! All of these tags and greeting die-cuts are from these Something Fancy dies.  

    This next set is all pastels in Fresh Freesia & Petal Pink; another color combo I would never have put together.  But it works!  

    You also might notice that each card is a fun fold.  Here are the measurements:

    • Horizontal cards – 4 1/4" X 11" card base, scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Vertical cards 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base, scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 

    Below is the template I used.  I started out with 4 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  I cut two at a time using the measurements on the template.  Then I cut 4 pieces of card stock for the layer under the designer paper pieces.  It's so easy and a fabulous way to use up your designer paper AND get a bunch of cards done quickly.

    This last set features Calypso Coral with Mango Melody; a bright and fun combination.  

    You can see on the upper left and lower right a few of the optional die-cuts you can add to the tags.  The set actually features 3 options for details or a ribbon pull. 

    Here you can see all 12 of the cards I made with the Dandy Designs designer series paper and the Something Fancy bundle.

  • Note my NEW YouTube channel, email address plus free project download!


    I've so much to do today that I'm posting a repeat project.  BUT, it's a huge favorite and if you haven't seen it or made one I'm sure you're going to add it to your list of projects in the future. 

    But first an update on my email and YouTube channel. 

    Last week my Google account was hijacked.  I lost some of my contacts, had to get a new email address (click here) and lost my YouTube channel and ALL of my 16,700 subscribers!  It's still a huge shock! 

    I have contacted Google and they may help me recover my channel.  Chances are low this will happen, but in the meantime I've created a new one.  PLEASE subscribe to it if you enjoy my videos.  Here's the link.  

    Now I'll share this easy card folio project. 

    It features the Good Feelings stamp set, the Hand-Penned petals stamp set, the Penned Flower dies, the Border Basics dies seen here, and the Contour Scalloped dies (front of folio).  

    We made it at a team meeting a few months ago.  I think it's a super cool way to gift cards to someone.  And it uses just one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock!  

    Here's what it looks like open and full of cards: 

    Here's the free project tutorial for this neat gift project.  Download Good Feelings card folio here.  

    This is the front view.  The colors include Calypso Coral,  Petal Pink, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.

  • Beautiful By the Bay card kit; stunning designer paper!


    This gorgeous By the Bay specialty designer paper is amazingly beautiful!  It has gold and glossy accents on one side of each page.  

    It was my top choice for a January card kit; it's incredibly pretty and not just for beachy themes.  Below you'll see the 10 cards featured in my By the Bay card kit to go.  

    There are 10 cards here with most being fancy folds.  The kit includes a half a package of By the Bay 6" DSP, a share of new Milky Dots and new Balmy Blue shaded ribbon AND the PDF tutorial.  Plus you'll receive the 10 pre-cut cards – everything is cut for you including the die-cut or punched pieces.  You'll just need to cut the designer paper that's in your product kit.  You'll have lots of product left to make even more cards! 

    Opt in for this kit by January 19th; it will be mailed out at the end of January.  You can choose the PDF tutorial here.  

    Get this fun fold card kit here.  

    *The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase.  Please check your spam or junk folder for it. 

    It does not include stamped images. I used the Something Fancy stamp set but you can substitute other greetings.

    More details:

    • Add on the Something Fancy stamp set or bundle at an extra 10% off (and earn a free SAB choice). Email me 
    • I also have a second card kit available this month featuring the Regency Park designer paper.  See that one here.  
    • You can combine your kit orders and save on shipping; they'll both fit in one package. 
    • Each kit includes $20 in product so if you'd like to earn a free $50 Sale-a-Bration item, add on $30 or more in product and choose a free item (or add $10 if you get both kits).  Email me here for that option please.  
    • You will need greeting images, Navy ink, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper.
