More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers


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!

  • Easy Holiday cards made from tags! Free project sheet & video tutorial.


    I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin boxes each month. November’s Wrapped in Cheer kit featured holiday tags and I couldn’t waste an opportunity to make cards from them. I need a lot more Christmas cards than I do tags!

    I didn’t change the tag from the original except for the linen thread bow at the top. But I did add it to a Basic Beige textured layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
    Now that is an easy card!

    To create the colored leaves inside the card I used the empty piece of paper from the kit where the leaves had been removed. I’m always looking for easy ways to add to the inside of my cards.

    There were two different tags in this kit. Aren’t they pretty?

    I used the embossing folder called Traditional Wreath 3D folder; it can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and more information on Paper Pumpkin.

    *You’ll receive a PDF with multiple projects featuring this product
    after the 20th of the month.

  • Wrapped in Cheer tags for Christmas


    I shared the November Paper Pumpkin kit on last week’s live video. I just love receiving my crafty box in the mail each month! Easy crafting without a plan or step it up and use your creativity to change the projects.

    There were two different tags in this kit and each one includes multiple pieces. Aren’t they pretty? The embossing folder is called Traditional Wreath 3D folder and can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    I used the tags to make Christmas cards which you can see below. All I did was add a textured layer and a card base. *I’ll share more details tomorrow.

    Remember that each month my subscribers and Team receive my bonus projects PDF. Lots of unique ideas to create with the contents of each box. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here.

    Below is the video where I share this kit, last months and how to make the cards too.
