LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!


I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards. 

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable.  The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th.  The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April. 

~~~

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.  

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here.  It also includes a sheet of White in the pack.  This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front. 

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A. 

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front.  What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here.  It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool! 

Measurements:

  • Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2".  Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line.  You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it. 
  • Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
  • Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
  • DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across.  The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Next is a neat card made by Rita. 

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper. 

Measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
  • DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"

I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques. 

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set. 

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image.  Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors.  She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes! 

I'll share more team swaps next week!

  • New Catalog Party display pictures!


    I held my new catalog party on Saturday showcasing the Spring & Sale-a-Bration products. It was so fun to have my customers/friends stop in to see everything & visit.  

    Here are a few photos of my displays of new 2023 Spring Catalog products: 

    Above you can see the Delicate Desert and Enjoy the Journey designer paper. Below is the Country Floral Lane designer paper; wonderful for Valentines.  

    Above you can also see the Country Gingham 6" designer paper and lots of swaps featuring this Country Floral Lane suite. 

    I always join a bunch of swaps so I can get a bunch of samples so I can create display boards like this one: 

    I wish the pictures were a little clearer for you but there was some reflection on the clear envelopes covering each card. 

    Below are photos of quite a few of our new Designer Paper; the titles of each are shown in the photo. 

    Below are swap cards featuring the Regency Park Suite seen here; one of my favorites! 

    Keep in mind I didn't make all of these cards. I did make that 'many' but received different cards back for the swaps I sent in.  I love swapping!! 

    I'll share more products & swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration tomorrow.

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap


    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  


    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.  

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.  

    I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!

    Do you know about our Kits Collection?  It features many types of kits; perfect for all kinds of crafters.  They're also a wonderful gift to give since everything but a scissors is included.  

    Some feature ink and stamps and others are ready to assemble with pre-printed greetings.  You can see them all here.  

    Stampin' Up! recently added three new kits. 

    This first kit is called Saying Thanks starts today and includes 9 colorful cards with envelopes.  See it here.

    Heads up on getting Paper Pumpkin kits:  If you want to get something free with purchase I highly recommend you order a pre-paid subscription during Sale-a-Bration.  For every $50 – 100 you spend you get free choices from the SAB catalog.  So opt in January 5th – February 28th and get even more!
