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.

  • Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!


    At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

    I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

    The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

    You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

    In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

    If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free! 

    ~~~

    This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim. 

    These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green. 

    ~~~

    Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

    The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    ~~~

    I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.  

    The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set. 

    ~~~

    I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here. 

    These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

    Which is your favorite??

    ~~~

    And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.  

    The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!  

    Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order!  Details are below.

    Here's the video below:
