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!

Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

January 21, 2020
I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!

Save

Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion. The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

Save

Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends.

The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies. These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off. See them here. It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards. She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order.

Remember that I'm giving away one set in January! Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing.

I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well. We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP.

The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5". The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size.

Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.

January 20, 2020
Here's the other card we made at my January Flowerbug's Team Meeting featuring the Little Ladybug stamp set:

Little Ladybug Spinner Card!!

January 17, 2020
This fabulous spinner card was made by my friend Susie Wood; she sent one to me as we like to make cards for each other to share with our customers. I love her style so much. Visit her blog here.

Save

Isn't it adorable?! It's classic Red, Black & White; perfect for the Ladybug set. The center circles are 1 3/4" and 2" in size. The Black piece is 4" X 3 1/4" in size and that circular opening is 2 3/8" using the Circles Collection dies and punches.

This cute stamp set is FREE with any $300 order placed during Sale-a-Bration; January through March 2020. If you don't think you can swing that large of an order I have a few suggestions for you.
1. Have a workshop/party and invite your friends. Their orders will add up so you can earn it free!
2. Place one big order (if you can). You'll get 6 free $50 Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and earn $36 in free hostess benefits.
3. Have a book party; inviting your fellow stamping friends to order. I can open a host code so all of the orders can be shipped to each person's ome. Sale-a-Bration is a great time to order! Free products for each $50 you spend.
4. Purchase the starter kit and join as a Demonstrator! Then you get 20% off your $300 order so you're really spending just $240 to earn this set! Plus you would get 6 free Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and $36 in free hostess benefits.
All you need for a spinner card is a window, something to spin and some string or thread. She used our Silver metallic thread here. The window is made with our Circles Collection Framelits.

Watch the FB live replay video below to see how it's done.

You might wonder where the black polka dots came from. She used a sponge dauber! So easy!!
