The last of the Beautiful Fun Fold card swaps


This is the last bunch of Fun Fold cards this week; each one has been made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  

Sue made this pretty and unique card using the Positive Thought stamp set. 

She is super creative and loves to create her own ideas.  Look at this unique card!

She used the Positive Thoughts stamp set and the Cross of Hope dies (on sale right now for just $10.80; they were $27.00!)

Measurements:

  • Petal Pink – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
  • Blackberry Bliss 6 3/4" X 5 3/4" scored at 4"
  • Whisper White – 7 1/2" X 5" scored at 3 5/8"

Next is Karen's pretty card featuring the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and the Magnolia Lane designer paper.  This pretty paper is also on sale; at $8.05 right now while supplies last here.  She colored the flower in with the Petal Pink blends markers.

Candy made this beautiful card, also with the Positive thoughts stamp set and coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies.  

That gorgeous rectangle die-cut is from the Ornate Layers dies here.  They're amazing!!!  Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and a splash of Coastal Cabana.  Here's the inside view:

Mary made this pretty card using the Free as a Bird stamp set and the Bird Ballad designer paper.

She colored the birds with Blends markers; so soft and pretty!

  • LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!


    I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards. 

    *Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable.  The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th.  The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April. 

    ~~~

    First is a pretty card made by Karen G.  

    She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here.  It also includes a sheet of White in the pack.  This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front. 

    The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

    Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A. 

    She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front.  What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here.  It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

    This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool! 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2".  Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line.  You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it. 
    • Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
    • Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
    • DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across.  The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    Next is a neat card made by Rita. 

    She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"

    I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques. 

    Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set. 

    She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image.  Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors.  She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes! 

    I'll share more team swaps next week!

  • Beautiful Online Exclusive card swaps


    We held our monthly Team Gathering and our swap theme was to feature Online Exclusive products.  Honestly our current line of OE products is amazing. Did you know there are over 90 items?  Be sure to check them out here.  

    Joan made this first one with the In My Heart stamp set seen here. 

    Her coloring is amazing! I believe she used Blends markers for the scene. She used two sizes of the Deckled Circles and her background is made with the Foursquare decorative masks seen here. She used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink to create that gorgeous, striking background. Her colors are Orchid Oasis & Sweet Sorbet – both of these In Colors are retiring in early April! 

    Here's how she finished the inside: 

    Next is a stunning card made by Tracey. She chose the Courage & Faith stamp set in the Annual catalog; see it here.

    I just love how this layout shows off the pretty Meandering Meadows designer paper! 

    Measurements: Each of the designer paper pieces are 2 1/2" X 1 1/4". This allows you to make two cards with each 6 X 6" piece of DSP.  The greeting is stamped on a the Scalloped Contours diecut seen here.  

    Next is a wonderful card perfect for either guys or gals. It features the Trucking Along bundle seen here. 

    I love the stamped and textured background! She also used the Deckled Circles (in low inventory) and the Basics 3D embossing folders – both can be seen in our Online Exclusive line here.    The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies

    Stay tuned for more swaps tomorrow!
