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

March 20, 2025

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:

Save

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

I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

October 2, 2020
Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards! They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month. They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower.

Save

We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker. I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness.

Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here.

Save

Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers. It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done.
