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.  

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.

  On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.  

  These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

  Isn't it cool?  And it's super easy to do.  It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!

  Here's the template for the explosion card.

  Here's a masculine birthday made with the Plaid Tidings designer paper and Many Mates stamp set.

  These are so fun to make.  And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside.  What a surprise they'll enjoy!

• Mini Coffee Carriers; a special gift with treats & glue stands!

  November 20, 2020

  ---

  Have you noticed the mini coffee carriers on page 9 of the Holiday catalog? They're actually quite large and should not be called mini!  You can see the entire suite here. 

  My friend Marilyn made this one for me; casing the catalog project on page 10.  It's so cool! 

  Save

  She used the Heartwarming Hugs and Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  She wrapped her coffee cups with Real Red CS. Tip; use strong adhesive like Tear & Tape for this. 

  Save

  Here's another version. I made these for my Flowerbug's Team that attended OnStage@Home a few weeks ago.  It was filled with treats, apple cider packet and a liquid glue stand that we make *see photo below

  Save

  I actually sprayed my coffee cups with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Real Red ink refill.  

  Here are the Multipurpose Glue stands included in the gift above. We have them available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each.
