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!

    Here are two more cards made by my talented Flowerbugs! Both used the Expressions in Ink suite. 

    Candace made this first one using a nice piece of the beautiful Expressions in Ink specialty DSP.  She stamped her greeting and leaves directly onto the DSP using Evening Evergreen ink.  


    Then she stamped the large flower on a separate piece of White CS and die-cut it out using the Artistic Dies.  Lovely!

    Tracey made this one using just the Artistically Inked stamp set.  She stamped all of her images on the White CS and added that to a layer of textured White CS.  She used the Timber 3D embossing folder.  

    You can see she added a bit of sponging to the embossed layer to really bring out the texture.

  • What’s Cookin’ & All For Baby card ideas


    Today I'm sharing two cards made by sisters on my Flowerbugs Team.  They're so talented and I love to see what they make for our swaps.  

    First is an amazing card made by Jonna.  She used the What's Cookin' bundle seen here.  I LOVE her colors and how she created a tablecloth from the patterned paper by placing it on an angle.  

    She stamped & die-cut the cooking elements and added it to the 'table'.  The White background is textured with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  

    The greeting is stamped and punched out with the Everyday Label punch. It's neat how she used it vertically instead of the usual way. 

    Next is a sweet baby card made by Jacki featuring the All for Baby bundle seen here.  Her colors are Just Jade & Basic White.  The baby outfit is stamped in Just Jade ink and die-cut; then added with the hanger die-cut.  The designer paper is from our In color patterned paper packs – we have 6 sets of these in all of our color families. 

    That little rhinestone on the hanger is a great addition. I love the simplicity of this card; it really showcases the outfit & greeting.

  • Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps


    Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.


    There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper.  Gorgeous just fits.  

    Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members. 

    First is Annette's pretty card.  I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card.  You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper!  See it here. 

    She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting.  I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too. 

    Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.  

    She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder.  Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card. 

    I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper.  Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.  

    Measurements: 

    • Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge
    • DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip 
    • Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip 
    • inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
    • Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"
