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.

  • Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!

    I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away.  It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

    The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly.  Details on this box below; or click here.

    I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here.  Other products used were: 

    • Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
    • Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
    • Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
    • Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
    • clear embossing powder & Heat Tool

    Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede?  And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

    Here's a picture of everything you get in the Sparkle of the Season bundle.  See it here or on page 58 of the Holiday catalog.

    I bet you're wondering where this card box is from.  It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion.  See it here or on page 11 or 75.  There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly!  Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture.  Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window.

    Here's a link to the video; it's the first project featuring the Sparkle of the Season dies. The photo shows my Halloween cards but it is the correct video!

    The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

  • What a Year Kit to Go – Spectacular home decor banner & 10 cards too!

    When I create a kit to go I never quite know how the projects will turn out.  Of course I hope for fabulous every time and I'm usually quite happy with the results.  I was amazed at how much I love these What a Year projects!  They truly make me happy just to look at them! They're bright, happy & just plain delightful.

    What a year all Save

    The banner is my favorite.  I needed an update to the decor in my studio and this fit the bill beautifully.  It's nice and big, spanning almost 3 feet across!  It’s perfect for a craft space, office or even a kids room. 

    This kit includes the What a Year Memories & More pack, 10 White cards & envelopes, a sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals and ribbon for the banner.

    No stamps or ink are needed to finish these projects. However you will need adhesives, rhinestones or other gems, scissors, a hole punch and a paper trimmer. If you want to add texture to a few of the cards you will also need a die-cut machine & embossing folders.

    *Be sure to order by September 19th to get this kit!  

    This PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment. The kit is mailed out at the end of September, barring any back-orders. 

    Go here to order the pre-cut kit to go. $28 (See the 2nd September kit option here. Choose both kits here!)
