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:

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.

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!

• Wow! Check out this fabulous fun fold that’s actually easy! Video & free project sheet too

  I'm super excited to share this neat fancy fold card with you today.  I made it on a recent video which I've added towards the bottom of this post.  

  Save

  I chose to use the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP seen here with Petunia Pop, Black & White.

  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" piece of card stock that you score three times.  Then you add a 'bridge or brace' in the center that does the fun pop-up work.  Watch the video to see how it's done. And check out the free project sheet below too.

  I stamped the greeting with the Linked Together stamp set and the leaves with the Textured Notes stamp set. The greeting die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. 

  It folds perfectly flat for mailing too!

  I hope you'll watch the video below to see how to assemble this neat card. It's super fun to play with.

• Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

  March 24, 2025

  I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video.  I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place. 

  Save

  My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White.  The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card. 

  I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP. 

  We made this project at last week's Team gathering.  They loved it!
