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!

Fabulous projects with the Round We Go Bundle and it’s on sale through Sunday!

Today I'm sharing the first set of projects by our Artist of the Month for June. Paula chose the Round We Go bundle to create with and she did an incredible job!

Save

This first card features multiple dies and a stamped background too. The designer papers used for the rosettes include Full of Life and the In Color 6" X 6" prints.

Save

Her colors include Boho Blue & Peach Pie with White.

Next is a fun patriotic card she made for her nephew who is in the military. It sure reminds me of decorative bunting!

Save

Her colors are Red, White & Navy with Crumb Cake. She stamped the circles with one of the stamps in the set. Love her creativity!

Next up is a fun card with two 'lollipops' made with the dies in the bundle.

Save

Her colors include Shy Shamrock, Vanilla and Crumb Cake. She layered at least 3-4 of the Crumb Cake 'feel better soon' dies together for a fantastic raised look.

Next is this amazing box. I haven't seen anyone do a half rosette to decorate a box top before! It's genius!

Save

Her colors are Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. I don't have measurements for the box but it's about 2 3/4" square and over 2" tall.

Save

Here's another box she made where she stamped the entire box with many of the image in the set.

Save

Her box is made from Lemon Lolly card stock and she added a layered stamped greeting made from one of the dies in the set. It's almost like a long milk carton box that closes at the top with twine. Neat!

Aren't her projects amazing? She really showcased this neat bundle. Stop back tomorrow for the rest of her projects!
