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.

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!

• Lots to Celebrate stamp set & fun card ideas

  September 11, 2020

  I made time to play with the Lots to Celebrate stamp a few weeks ago and featured these cards on Tuesday's FB Live.  Remember that I host a weekly FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT here. Follow me so you don't miss any!

  This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.

  Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others.

  The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack.

  Watch the video below to see her original cards and how I changed them.  Plus I show more of her creative cards too.

• Look at this Amazing Gift!

  September 10, 2020

  I received quite a wonderful surprise in the mail last week from Jakelle; a demonstrator in eastern North Dakota.  Look at what she made me!  

  Save

  It's a 5 X 7" board on an easel and her craftmanship is incredible! She used sooo many different dies & products to complete it. 

  • Tasteful Labels, Playful Alphabet & So Much Happy dies
  • Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
  • Nothing's Better Than stamp set

  Save

  She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.

  Isn't it beautiful?  She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP.  If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.  

  I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person.  I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job!  I'm loving it.  And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

• Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

  September 9, 2020

  ---

  Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.  

  Save

  The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red.  See the tiny 'apples' on the tree?  Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image.  I dare you to try it!  Watch the video below to see what I did! 

  That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here.  There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set! 

  Save

  
  

  I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set!  It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!  

  Measurements: 

  • Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
    Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
    Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"
