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.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

December 25, 2020

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated. I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.

We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota! So it's a white Christmas after all.

Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

Save

The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White. The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog.

Save

This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper. Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here.

Save

This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue.

Merry Christmas!

Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

December 24, 2020

Are you a last minute wrapper? I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live. Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score.

Save

Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock. Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special. I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated.

I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes. Now consider how much DSP you have stored up! Use it; you can do it!

Save

And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

Save

I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers. Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.

Save

You can watch the video here. Scroll towards the end for the boxes.
