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!

  • Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video


    Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here. 

    Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.

    See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped?  I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner.  Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.  

    Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.   

    The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine.  The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.

    You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

  • A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!


       Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

    These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.  

    I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

    This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

    I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

    Yesterday I shared a pretty card featuring two of the same products seen in this card. Click here to see it. The Christmas Classics stamp set and the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. 

    Look at the stunning golden shine on this card! 

    I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here.  I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.
