Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors

Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

Save

She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper.  The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D. 

Measurements:

• White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
• Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
• Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
• DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2" 

Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper. 

Save

Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here.  She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.

Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash. 

Save

She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!  

It's a center fold pop up card!  I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make.  She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.  

Save

Isn't this an amazing card?  It looks so challenging to make! 

I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video.  I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula.  You were right; this card was easier than I thought!

  Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

  First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

  Save

  She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

  Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

  Save

  Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

  Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

  Save

  The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

• Flowers for Every Season & more!

  July 28, 2020

  ---

  Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors. 

  First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

  Save

  Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly. 

  Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also. 

  Save

  What a fun layout!  Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer?  That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder.  The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.  

  Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane.  She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.  

  Save

  The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings.  Love these delicate dies!  

  Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better?  They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully.  It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!

• Hippo’s & Dandelions?

  July 27, 2020

  ---

  Today I have two more swap cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I still have more to share yet! 

  The first card is made by a brand new demonstrator; Tracey.  This was her first swap too!  She used the new Hippo Happiness bundle. 

  Save

  Her colors are Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness.  She stamped her own background using some of the images in the set.  That swirly die-cut we all love is from the Painted Labels die-cuts.  Such a sweet card! 

  I LOVE these dies; look at all of the labels. There are 9 of them! 

  Save

  Karen made this pretty card below with the new Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  

  Save

  She used our Vellum card stock; did you know when you run it through an embossing folder it turns 'white' or opaque?  So cool!  You'll start looking at using vellum and your folders more now, right?  She added adhesive to the back of the flower heads and behind the greeting.  

  Her sentiment if from the Forever Fern stamp set and is punched out with the new Rectangular Postage Punch. 

  More swap cards coming up!
