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!  

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. 

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!

  • Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  

    Isn't it pretty?  The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  

    I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here.  It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.  

    This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.  

    The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here.  It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.  

    Here's the free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and supplies.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Prairie Grass JoyFold card

    And here's the video below where I share two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

    It's called the Stained Glass technique and she made it for our July Team swap featuring Window Sheets.  

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock with Highland Heather. The bundle is called Beautiful Butterflies and can be seen here. 

    Steps:

    • Turn it over and color with Blends markers. 
    • Add adhesive sheet to the Blends side. Press onto slightly crinkled aluminum foil. 
    • Adhere to a second butterfly stamped on White CS for support and to cover the foil. 
    • Fussy cut; add to card.

  • Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!


    I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

    Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

    The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

    She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

    Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

    The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 


    Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!
