Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

January 25, 2022

Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap. The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy. Have you made a monochromatic card before? If not try it!

This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

There are so many beautiful details!

All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here. They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.
She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too.
The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder

Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here. She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here. Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors! I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line. It just makes me happy!

Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.

Save

Here are the details:

Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.
She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail.
The striped DSP is on the inside of the card. It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.
The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog.

Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet

November 30, 2023

There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog! It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

Save

I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is. The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home.

Save

The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon.

I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

More Magical Meadow fun fold cards by Judith

November 29, 2023

Yesterday I shared the cards Judith made as our Team Artist of the Month and today I'm sharing more. She did a wonderful job highlighting the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.

All of her cards have been fun folds; she does like to make fancy fold cards.

Save

This card features a center greeting layer that enfolds both front layers of her gatefold card. She left it removeable so the recipient can add it or leave it off. You can adhere it if you'd like; I usually add it to the left side.

The gorgeous leaves & berries image was done with markers; it coordinates with the Magical Meadow dies perfectly! She used the Deckled Circle dies seen here.

Below is the inside view with the center layer separate.

Save

Next is another fun fold card I call a double-flap card. She used the same sheet of Winter Meadow as the card above.

Save

She scored the right side of her double layered circles and adhered the scored flap under the inside layers. Clever!

The greeting layers are from the Autumn Leaves dies and of course she used the beautiful White & Silver mesh ribbon – all from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Save

Thank you for sharing these beautiful projects with us Judith!

Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

November 28, 2023
Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies:

Save

Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch!

Measurements:
- Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"
Save

The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last.

Save

This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.

Save

Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

Save

The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months. See it here.

I'll share more projects tomorrow!
