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!

  • Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils


    Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available.  It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration.  Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!  

    This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month.  I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme.  It's a classic and always works! 

    I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper.  It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here.  It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.  

    I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up.  I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look.  Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it.  You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here. 

    Other Details:

    • Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
    • Stitched So Sweetly dies
    • pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
    • The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker

  • Gorgeous Flowering Foils projects video


    Yesterday I shared 5 projects featuring the stunning Flowering Foils specialty designer paper on my weekly Facebook Live video. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT; tune in here:

    This specialty paper is my top pick from the new 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration items.  It's FREE with any $50 order!  See it here.

    Here are three of the cards I shared in the FB video. These photos do not do them justice!  The colors are Silver, White, Petal Pink and Rose Gold. The greetings are all from the Rare Blessings stamp set seen here. 

    I made a pretty stitched frame with the Stitched Rectangles dies and Silver Foil paper.  Added a greeting and a fussy cut flower from the Flowering Foils paper.  I sponged it with Petal Pink ink for a bit of soft color. 

    Check out this 'One Sheet Box' made from one 12 X 12" sheet of Designer paper!  It's a really nice size; big enough to hold quite a few cookies inside it.  

    • Score the 12 x 12 paper at 3″ and 9 inches
    • Rotate paper and score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/2″ and 9 inches. You can watch the video below to see it made. 

    I made one with the Golden Honey specialty paper and the other with the Flowering Foils.  Both are free right now with any $50 order! Click below to watch the video.
