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!

  • Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!


    Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

    First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

    This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

    The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
    • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
    • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

    I shared another version of this card here last week.  

    To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
    • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

    Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 


    Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
    • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
    • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

    I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!

  • Fabulous Team Swaps!


    We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.  

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze.  Gorgeous!!  The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

    There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

    ~~~

    Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.  

    See the stamp set here and the dies here.  They were a bundle in the Spring catalog and carried over into the new Annual Catalog. 

    The designer paper is the Countryside Inn DSP seen here that carried over and is now online. 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Misty Moonlight – 4" X 8 1/2" score at 5 1/4"
    • Black center fold 2 1/2" X 8" score at 4"
    • White 2 1/4" X 4" front and inside; greeting banner 3" X 5/8" 
    • Assorted card stock for tools 
    • DSP – front 3 3/4" X 3" and inside is 3 3/4" X 5"
