Last of the Holiday & Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps!

August 22, 2022

And here are the last of the Team swaps made by my Flowerbug members. Our theme was to use Holiday or Sale-a-Bration catalog items. They knocked it out of the park as usual!!

First up is a stunning card made by Marla. She featured the Peace To You stamp set seen here.

Save

She used TWO of the new specialty designer papers here – the Snowflakes 12" Vellum as an overlay on the stamped image. Then the long dotted strip is from the Metallic & Shimmer 6" paper. These are both in the 2022 Holiday catalog.

She added a wrap of Silver Metallic Mesh ribbon around the left edge, which helps hide any adhesive when adding the vellum.

Next is a cute card using the Yeti to Party stamp set made by Monica. I LOVE her bright, happy colors for this holiday card.

Save

The color combo is Coastal Cabana, White & Calypso Coral. The designer paper background is the Sale-a-Bration 'Rings of Love'. She stamped snowflakes on it to make it more 'holiday' themed. She tore a strip of Happy Forest Friends DSP below it.

Lastly is a neat card made by Miles using the Tree Lot dies. Unfortunately these dies are out of stock now and not available. They were free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion but they ran out and will not be bringing them back. A sad reminder that Sale-a-Bration items are 'While Supplies Last'.

There are so many neat details about this card:

He die-cut a window in the Sahara Sand front panel with the Stylish Shapes dies
The greeting is from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalog
He added a strip of Natural 1/2" woven ribbon
The background is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder

Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts

January 13, 2020

Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other. I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

Save

I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.

And here is the first version: Which do you prefer? This (above) or that (below)?

Save

Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

Save

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Save

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video

January 9, 2020
This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards. I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video)

If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

Save

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
