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!

A NEW catalog bundle – Timeless Arrangements. And a NEW Designer Paper share too!

April 26, 2023

If you're near me in Minot, ND I hope you'll plan to come to my New Catalog Launch party on Saturday, April 29th. It's at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm.

I have been prepping and working hard on samples, displays, special offers and more. I love to spoil my customers with yummy treats too!

Would you like to receive every sheet of designer paper in the new Annual Catalog? I'm doing my usual designer paper share with the new catalog. It includes 12 different packs of NEW DSP.

Check out this pretty card made with a brand new bundle from the upcoming 2023 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!

It's called Timeless Arrangements and Demonstrators could pre-order it before the catalog launches on May 2nd for customers. It was one of my top choices; I've made at least 4 cards with it so far and will be sharing them with you in the next week.

My colors include Starry Sky, White and Fresh Freesia. I paired it with a new package of 6 X 6" designer paper called Bright & Beautiful.

Here's how I stamped the inside. I used two of the foliage images on one block and stamped them repeatedly in first and second generation.

I shared another version in my video yesterday; see it here. This card features Petal Pink with Starry Sky along with a bit of Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!

April 25, 2023
Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme. I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.

Save

The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting. I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle.

The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting. See it here. The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

Save

I used two NEW products on this card. Can you spot them?

Save

New items:
1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve.
2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements.
See the Basic Border dies here: I love these dies; they're so versatile. I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
