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. 

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented Flowerbug's Team swaps this month.  I love seeing their style & what they create for our optional swaps.

  • Around the Bend with the stunning Fine Shimmer paper


    Here's another sample of the Around the Bend bundle. This time I featured the Dainty Flowers DSP from Sale-a-Bration and the Fine Shimmer specialty paper. 

    The Fine Shimmer specialty paper comes in three colors – two 12 X 12" sheet of each in Soft Succulent, Gold & Fresh Freesia. You can see it here.  

    I cut the curved layers and the leaves in the bundle from the Soft Succulent sheet.  Because this specialty paper is slightly thicker than most papers I added a shim of copy paper in my sandwich.  It helped a lot!  

    Below you can see this Around the Bend bundle.  I think the curves are totally unique from anything we've had before.  I evenlike the greetings! 

    You can choose from Photopolymer (clear) or Cling (red rubber) when ordering this stamp set or bundle.  There are several with this option in the 2023 Spring catalog. See it here.

    I made a bunch of these for our January card swap with my Flowerbug's Team. We hold an optional swap each month with a variety of themes. This time was to use products from the Sale-a-Bration or 2023 Spring catalog. 

    You can see another pretty card here using this same bundle. 

    Below is the video where I made this card; it's the 2nd project.

  • A pretty Tri-Fold card with the Around the Bend bundle – video too


    I created this pretty card for last week's FB Live video.  I featured 3 cards with the Around the Bend bundle.  This might be my favorite. 

    The colors include White, Soft Succulent & Petal Pink.  The Around the Bend bundle can be seen here.  It was one of my top picks from the Spring catalog. 

    Did you know there are a few stamp sets in the 2023 Jan-April Spring catalog that are available in either Photopolymer or Cling rubber?  You can choose which one you'd like!  Love this option.  I believe they are offering the choice to see what we prefer and if it's feasible to offer both.  

    Here's how it looks open.  I added a piece of Evening Evergreen under the die-cut front flap to show off the pretty, delicate dots & curve.  I trimmed the edge of this Evergreen layer with a paper snips.  

    Here are the measurements: 

    • White 5 ½” X 11” scored at 4 & 8”
    • Soft Succulent 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Evening Evergreen 5 ½” X 2 ¾”

    The flowers & leaves are also from this bundle.  I added the large flower & leaf layer with Dimensionals so it caught the upper flap, holding it closed.  

    Below is the video where I made this card; it's the third and last project.

  • Gorgeous cards in the Enjoy the Moment card kit or tutorial


    I knew I wanted to feature this pretty designer paper called Enjoy the Journey for a card kit to go but I wasn't sure quite how or where to start!  

    But once I decided to go with scenic and silhouette cards they came together wonderfully!  *this dsp is also available free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February. 

    I am thrilled with these cards; they're gorgeous!  I included quite a few fancy folds too. 

    The kit to go  includes 1/2 pkg. (6" X 12") of the Enjoy the Journey DSP, a share of both 3 twine combo and black matte dots, 10 envelopes, the pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces and you'll receive the PDF tutorial free.  

    I also have the PDF tutorial only available if you do not want the pre-cut kit.  However the kit is the best deal; you receive $20 in product (before tax & shipping) plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28!  

    Opt in here for the card kit by February 19 to get it.  Or choose the PDF tutorial here instead.  This kit is mailed out at the end of February via Priority Mail.  The PDF tutorial will be send to you via email immediately after payment. 

    Add on the Happy Labels stamp set or bundle at an extra 10% off!  And if the total ($20 for the kit, $24 for the stamp set + more added) adds up to $50 or more you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice too.  Contact me here for this option. 

    *You will need the following to complete your cards:

    • Black ink and greeting images (I used Happy Labels)
    • a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP, adhesives, optional embossing folder

    Add on any other kit in my shop and save on shipping.  I have a second beautiful, new kit available here with the Texture Chic cards & envelopes.  See all of my kits here.
