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!

Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!

May 2, 2025
With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers. I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done. The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly. It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food.

Beautiful Plaid card featuring the Grow with Love bundle

April 30, 2025

I shared this pretty card on a recent video. I made it for our Team swap which had a plaid theme.

Save

It features the Grow with Love bundle seen here. My colors include Basic Beige, Old Olive and Lost Lagoon – taken from the pretty Timeless Plaid layer.

The basil and stamped frame are all done with the Grow with Love dies. The greeting is from the Mixed Label dies. I did sponge the edges and the leaves with Lost Lagoon ink. The herb images in this set are so pretty and have Stampin' Up!'s distinktive style which shows off multiple hues with one inking. The coordinating dies cut off the herb names; a great option if you do not want to include them.

Save

The pretty embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. I'm so sad it's retiring! This textured piece is made from our 2-toned Olive 12 X 12" card stock. When embossing this white core paper the texture reveals the white core just enough to enhance the texture. I could have sanded it to reveal even more texture but I did not.
