Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps

I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today.  Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards. 

Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.  

April Jacki Save

She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them.  I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left.  She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.  

Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.

She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP.  Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges!  Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. 

Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set.

  • Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial

    I shared this special card on a recent FB Live.  It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.  

    It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite! 

    Decorative Border book binding fold Save

    When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it.  I show how on the video below.

    This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line! 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
    • White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
    • Polished Pink 4”
    • Parakeet Party 1” X 4

    Decorative Borders baby wipe Save

    I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading!  Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

    The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

    There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

  • Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

    Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

    Decorative Boarders vellum Save

    I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

    The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

    My measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
    • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
    • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

  • Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

    We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

    Love Cats club Feb . Save

     

    I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?

    In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.
