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!

My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too. She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

Below are a few cutting templates for you.

Save

Watch the video here or below to see how this is done.

Directions:
- You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper.
- First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right.
- Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square.
- Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces.
Save

See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.
- Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.
- Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
- Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half. These pieces are used on the inside of the card.
You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!

October 24, 2023

I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit. It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards.

Save

I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon. It's gorgeous! The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside.

Save

I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings.

The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit.

For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies.

We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings. The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit.

Save

See this kit here online. Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long. You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas.

The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well! It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes.

Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

October 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here.

When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

Save

It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have. I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.

My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.

It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch. Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom. You can see how this is done in the video below.
