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.

  • Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


    On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

    These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

    These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

    The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

    I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

    Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

    The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.  

    Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.

  • A beautiful Texture Chic card class in the mail, with PDF option too!


    I did a poll in my Facebook group to decide which designer paper to feature in my July card kit to go.  Texture Chic was a top favorite and looking at the finished cards I can see why! 

    The cards came together wonderfully and include a few fun folds that I know people enjoy making & giving.  I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set along with these inks: Soft Succulent, Blushing Bride, Pool Party & Soft Suede.

    When designing my card kits I like to use mostly greetings that most people can easily substitute.  Usually the designer paper, layouts, fun folds &/or accessories are the star of the cards.  

    The Texture Chic specialty DSP is filled with gold accents and gorgeous printed textures. Click here to see it. 

    If you want to make these cards you have a few choices:

    1. Get the PDF tutorial only here.  $15
    2. Or choose the pre-cut card kit here. $28 plus shipping

    Here's how it works:

    The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free.  It's the best deal. 

    You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Texture Chic specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots and 3/8" shimmer Gold ribbon.  You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards!  The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces.  It does not include textured embossing. 

    The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions.  See both here on my shop as well as a few other kits I have available. 

    What you need to complete these cards:

    1. a paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips
    2. Inks and stamp greetings
    3. Die-cut & embossing machine to add texture to some layers

    These cards are absolutely beautiful and can be used for many occasions.

  • Happy 4th of July – Fun Dots & Spots card


    Happy 4th of July!  

    This fun card is made with a two new products from the Annual Catalog.  The Dots & Spots die seen here and Alphabest Bundle seen here.  The stars are die-cuts from the Give it a Whirl dies seen here. (also from the Annual Catalog)

    This cute punch bundle is so easy to say what you want on your projects; punching makes it fast!  Think about the birthday cards you could personalize!
