More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers

August 20, 2025

I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers.

This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock!

Joan is a master at coloring! Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.

The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.

She gave me measurements I can share with you too!

Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
Season of Elegance DSP 2 pieces at 3/4″ X 5 1/2″

Here’s a view of the card opened:

You’ve created a beautiful card Joan!

Next is a card made by Joan’s mom, Barb. It’s her first time swapping with us and she did a wonderful job!

Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea!

She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel.

Measurements:

Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Beautiful job Barb!

Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here.

Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray. She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts.

The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.

Here’s the inside view. Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it.

I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

Neat Floral Delight fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

March 3, 2025

Can you tell that these cards are an extra special fun fold? It's a bit sneaky how it works!

Save

I used the Floral Delight designer paper here along with the Floral & Gingham Vellum too. The center piece is the vellum – the blue gingham and the yellow flowers on the right card. I used our Multipurpose Liquid glue to adhere it and it didn't show a bit! Use a very light hand for success here.

Here's how the card opens. There's an extra score line on the front of the card that allows the center to fold back. It's really simple but you may need to watch the video here to catch on.

Save

Here's a look at how the card base is made without the front panel added. The upper & lower corners are simply cut off at 1". So simple with a surprising effect!

Save

For the greetings I used the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. I love the stitched dies and the greetings in this bundle. I've used it so often.

Below is the video tutorial for this card. I hope you watch it to learn the simple trick to this neat fun fold.
