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!

I shared a cute cow card on yesterday's post; see it here. This Cutest Cow bundle is in our Spring catalog and is back & available. It was out of stock for a week or so.

You might wonder how I made the grass. It's from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. Same with the fence! There is a stamp set with these dies too.

My colors are Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green. I made the cloudy sky with the Border Basics dies and a Blending Brush. Watch the video here to see how I put this scene together and how I made the adorable pig.

I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs.

Isn't it adorable? My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive. The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.

Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.

You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.

Check out the inside:

I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow. 'Milk it for all it's worth!'

Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!

February 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them. If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.

The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

Save

She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here. Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set.

Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
- Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"
~~~

Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla.

The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens. Quite unique and actually easy to make too.

Measurements:
- Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"
- Vanilla front is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", inside is 7 3/4" X 4 3/4" score at 3 7/8", greeting strip is 3 1/2" X 1/2"

~~~

Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products. We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

Save

The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here. She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts. See it here.

Measurements:
- Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.
- Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
- Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
- DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1"
Save

It's quite the special card isn't it? It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style.

I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week. My Flowerbug's are the best!
