More Team Swaps include multiple ‘WOW’ cards!

Every month our Flowerbug's Team has an optional card swap and I always think it's the best group of cards ever.  Then another month comes and they get even better!  How is it possible?!  

This first card today features the Brightest Beauty bundle seen here.  It's in our Holiday catalog and has been on my wish list for awhile.  I think she pushed me over the edge with her card!  

Save

Her colors include Old Olive & Crushed Curry with White.  I LOVE the frame she made with the Fabulous Frames dies!  The rest of the dies are from the Brightest Beauty bundle.  That stamped background behind the frame and the main image are wonderful together.  The plain white behind the pretty flower & leaves really show the stamped image off.  And that greeting die! 

~~~

Next is an amazing card made by Candace.  She is the expert at sponging backgrounds.  Always so smooth and blended.  

Who would think of adding a Hippo to Snowflakes?!!  But it works perfectly.  

Save

Details:

• Colors include Gorgeous Grape, White, Highland Heather & Pacific Point
• The Hippo is from the Hippest Hippos stamp set & dies from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 
• The snowflake frame is from the Snowman dies & the Red & White glimmer paper
• The embossing folder is from the Wintry duo in the Annual catalog
• She achieved her beautiful background by using Blending Brushes.
• The pretty 'iridescent' snowflake is from our Wonderful Snowflakes seen here  
• She printed the greetings on White card stock using her printer!

Next is a simple yet beautiful card made by Annette. She let the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder take the prime spot on her card. This folder comes in a bundle with dies seen here. 

Save

Her colors are Old Olive with Very Vanilla.  The greeting is from the Color & Contour bundle.  The offset circles add a playful touch. 

Come back for more incredible swap cards tomorrow!

  I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever.  This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough!  If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you.  Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?! 

  Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in. 

  Save

  I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel.

  • 5” X 4 ¼” – score at ½” and 2 ¾", *get 4 from one sheet of CS
  • White tag – 2” X 6” scored at 4”, Black band is 1” X 5”
  • White rectangle die-cut (Stitched So Sweetly) is 2 3/4" X 1 5/8"

  Tag Buffet stamp set, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Fancy Tag Topper Punch, Red, White & Black CS, Blends markers, rhinestones

  November 23, 2020

  On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.  

  These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

  Isn't it cool?  And it's super easy to do.  It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!  

  Save

  Here's the template for the explosion card.

  Here's a masculine birthday made with the Plaid Tidings designer paper and Many Mates stamp set.

  These are so fun to make.  And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside.  What a surprise they'll enjoy!
