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.

  • 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay


    Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

    I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.  

    The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

    This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle: 

    Products used:

    • Delightful Tag Topper punch on the 2" X 3 1/2" White CS.
    • It's textured with the new Star Crossed embossing folder and added to a Basic Gray scalloped rectangle die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies seen here 
    • In Color 6 X 6" DSP, Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon seen here 
    • White embossing powder on the greeting
    • In Color jewels seen here 

    Measurements:

    • 5 ½” X 8 ½” Basic Gray; score at 2 1/8” from each side
    • 2 pieces Fresh Freesia In Color DSP at 2” X 5 ¼”
    • White tag is 2” X 3 ½”
    • Basic Gray greeting strip is 5/8” X 3 ¾”
