More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

Save

She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.  

Save

Just gorgeous Paula!!

And look at the incredible card Jacki made!  

Save

She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder.  Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look. 

Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils.  Beautifully done!  

I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

• Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video

  December 4, 2024

  ---

  On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

  Save

  I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

  My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

  Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.  

  Here's the free project sheet; click on the following link to download or print it. Download Easy Snowy Scenes Shaker card

  Save

  Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.
