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!

Gingerbread & Peppermint cards – get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial

November 3, 2021
I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately. Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits! Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly.

I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors. Look at the cards in this kit:

Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too. This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces.

This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces.
- $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
- the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list
It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine. You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper.

I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets. You can easily substitute other greetings.

Ever Eden; a gorgeous card kit to go!

November 2, 2021
Did you see the new Eden's Garden Collection yet? It's available starting today! It's a combination of a sneak peak bundle from the upcoming Spring Catalog AND exclusive papers & gems available from November 2nd to January 3rd (while supplies last). You can see it all here.

I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals – trees & leaves. This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems. I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.

Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too. I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs.

This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial. It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

There is a limited quantity of these available. Order by November 16th. It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail.

*Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class! *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!
- Order the Kit to Go here
- Get the PDF tutorial here
This kit to go includes the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs. Most are unique folds
- 1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
- a share of Garden gems
- 3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon
You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package!

**This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive. That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow. Get both November kits here.
