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.

  • Life is Beautiful meets Snowflake Splendor for a beautiful winter card


    I created this card for a recent FB Live.  I was asked to share ideas and samples with my Life is Beautiful stamp set for a private Demonstrator only Facebook group.  What an honor it is to be asked!  

    Here's one of the cards I made.  I'll share more next week!

    I stamped directly onto pieces of the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Did you know it's on sale this month?  Check out all 15 packs of paper on sale here.

  • Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; easy but beautiful!


    Here's another pretty fun fold card with the Snowflake Wishes suite of products.  Marilyn made this beauty. 

    It's a side fold card which is super easy to do!

    She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front layers, the Snowflake Splendor designer paper on the left and the Snowflake Wishes bundle for the stamps & die-cuts.   Note the pretty Glimmer snowflake!  Our Balmy Blue Glimmer paper is gorgeous! 

    She used Pacific Point ink on the greeting and the faint snowflakes in the background were done by stamping off a few times to get a lighter hue. 

    Measurements: 

    • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2", stitched rectangle die-cut is 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Whisper White inside 4" X 5 1/4", stitched rectangle die-cut is 2 5/8" X 4"
    • Snowflake Splendor DSP 2 1/2" X 4"

    This card is over the top gorgeous!  The Navy snowflakes are die-cut with the Snowflake Wishes bundle here and she also used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here; it's on sale this month!!

    This fancy fold card is for those crafters who don't mind scoring and cutting with multiple measurements!  You can see her template below and one I found online to show scoring areas.  

    Here's the inside view: 

    • The Navy greeting piece is 3/4" X 4 1/8".
    • The center DSP is 4 1/4" X 2", the center Navy is 2 1/8" X 4 3/8"
    • The DSP side pieces are 3/4" X 4 1/4", the Navy side pieces are 7/8" X 4 3/8" 

    Here is her template.  It's called a Center Step card and measures 4 1/4" X 11". 

    Outside score lines are at 1", 2" and 6 1/2". The center score line is at 5 1/2" .
