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.

Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial

October 12, 2021

I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live. They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

Save

These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video)

Save

On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'. The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat. *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.

Save

One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles. You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge.

Save

I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!
