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!

Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

February 5, 2024
I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.

Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:
- The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
- The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing.
- The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here. I cannot recommend this folder enough! I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
- The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes.
- The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set. It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.
- The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch. It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
- See the Flight & Airy designer paper here. It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
- The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer)
But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

Save

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc. Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

Save

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

Save

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here. She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper. I just love this card!!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here. It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last.

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe. Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star!

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper.

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.

It's a simple fun fold too!

I hope you are inspired by these beautiful projects made by my Flowerbug's Team.
