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:

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. 

Save

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!

• Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

  September 19, 2023

  ---

  Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

  It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

  She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

  Measurements:

  Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

  The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

  Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.

  I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

  This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
  • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
  • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
  • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
