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:

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!

  • Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?


    Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

    I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  

    Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight?  Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!!  Amazing, but stunning!  

    If you want to see this bundle online, click here. 

    I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

  • Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!


    Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

    The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White – 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Black 3 3/4" square
    • Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

  • Window cards for tonight’s FB Live; stamp right along with me!


    Here are the cards for tonight's FB live projects.  Monday night's videos are designed for you to stamp right along with me.

    Gather some supplies, pre-cut your pieces and join me here at 7: 30 pm CT.  The measurements are below.

    For the card above I used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and the Tasteful Labels dies.  There are two separate pieces of Misty Moonlight and White CS below the DSP panel.  The greeting is from the Lovely You stamp set. 

    I used the Lovely You stamp set in Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  That pretty texture is the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. The window is made with the Label Me Lovely punch seen here. 

    I had to use my new favorite stamp set Forever Fern for this window card.  I stamped the same leaf image repeatedly in Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake.  Love blues and browns together!  The circle is a 2" punch and the pretty label die is the Tasteful Labels again. My favorite set of label dies now! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      Main window layer 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Layered piece 3 3/4" X 5" (the Magenta card has a tighter layer; 3 5/8" X 4 7/8")

    Use Designer paper, stamped or textured card stock and assorted dies or punches for your windows; layer them if you'd like.

    Supplies:

    • Punches – Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Medium Daisy, Confetti Flowers Border punches
      Designer series paper – Flowers for Every Season
      Ink & Card stock – 2020 In colors, Crumb Cake & White
      Dies – Tasteful Labels
      Stamps – Forever Fern, Lovely You
      Other – jewels, embossing folder, dimensionals, sponge

     

    Join me tonight when I make these three cards!
