Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

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.

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.

• Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

  May 5, 2023

  ---

  I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

  Here's one of my recent projects: 

  Save

  I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

  Save

  I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel. 

  Save

  Measurements are: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
  • left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
  • front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
  • Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
  • Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
  • Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”  

  Save

   

  All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

• Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

  May 4, 2023

  ---

  During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. 

  Save

  This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

  I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

  Save

  I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.  

  Which color is your favorite?  From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
