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.

  • New, beautiful Splendid Autumn card kit to go; now with an exclusive video tutorial!


    Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go. 

    Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

    I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

    This month's kit to go includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
    • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
    • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
    • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

    Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

    *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set. 

    However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

    *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!

  • A pretty Regal Winter Tent card with free project sheet & video tutorial. So easy!


    I haven't made a tent card in a long time! It can also be called an easel card too. 

    This card layout really shows off our pretty designer paper. And it's sooo easy too!  As you can see it's basically 3 layers and an embellishment.  See the Regal Winter DSP here. 

    My colors were inspired by the pretty DSP and include Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler & White. That Cherry Cobbler gold edged ribbon is new; it's fine and easy to work with. 

    The greeting is from the Regal Flora stamp set however the greeting is originally all in one row.  I cut it in half and stamped them separately to fit on my die-cut. They're easy to reposition back together like it came. 

    Here's a view of the inside:

    Below is the video for this card and another. Be sure to follow me on my YouTube channel here.  I shared another gorgeous card with this suite 2 weeks ago.

  • Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video


    This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    Isn't the color combination pretty?  It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White.  It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors.  Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here. 

    If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors.  Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other.  I can usually tell if they work well.  But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.  

    Isn't that double die-cut pretty?  It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper. 

    I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker.  Love the golden highlights!

    How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above.  But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper! 

    As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get.  These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!
