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.

  • Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle


    I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK. 

    She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder.  What a fun card!  The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below. 

    This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

    This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip.  The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.  

    The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes!  At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.

  • Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps


    Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.  

    Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap: 

    She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front.  Note his sunglasses & shoes!  They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.  

    Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn.  Love this so much!  

    Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies.  So cute! See it here: 

    I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.  

    This first one is made by Marcia Besecker.  She added so much detail to her card!  

    Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

    Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie.  I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card. 

    This bundle is super cute don't you think?

  • Sneak Peek’s of upcoming products plus swaps!


    Today I'm sharing swaps from the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Orlando, FL.  And, are you ready for some sneak peeks of upcoming products?

    Here are the display boards for our card swaps.  We had the choice to participate or not and if we did we could make cards or 3d items.  Cards were 26 count.  I'll share mine soon. 


    Next is an upcoming kit you'll see in June from our Kit collection. Guess what!?  It's a scrapbook kit!!  I've been begging for this for years!  

    The photo above shows both cards and scrapbook pages made with this upcoming kit.  It will be available on June 3rd. 

    ~~~

    Next is a new set of products we'll see in the Holiday catalog in September.  Designer paper, coordinating cards & envelopes and a set of greetings ephemera in gold foil.  These items will definitely be the featured product in one of my kits to go this fall. 

    And look a this pretty designer paper and stamp & die bundle! It will also be featured in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September. 

    I'm excited about this bundle because my friend Susie and I are sharing our products so we can both make samples.

    Next you'll see the Perfectly Pears suite on a display board.  These pretty products will be one of our new Online Exclusives seen in July.  

    Demonstrators will be able to pre-order it in June so you'll likely see projects shared with it very soon! 

    ~~~

    We had to stop in the M & M store in Disney Springs. 

    I could not resist taking a photo of all of these colors of M & M's!!  Color is my jam! I could have stared at them for a long time! 

    Disclaimer: Less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators earn the incentive trip.
