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!

  The tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment.  Please check your spam folder.  The kit will be mailed out within a few days. 

  You will need greeting stamps, adhesives and a paper trimmer.

• 2 Pretty Team card swaps with neat technique ideas!

  March 12, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two Team Swaps from last month.  Both have neat product ideas.

  First is Tracey's cute card. Can you guess what the tiny scallops on the DSP is?  

  Save

  She used the Petal Pink scalloped ribbon under the DSP! Tracey has a special gift on fun ways to use ribbon & twine. This effect is so pretty & delicate looking.  It's currently in low inventory. 

  Measurements:

  The DSP is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4", the White 5 1/4" X 4", the card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The layer under the ribbon & DSP is 5 1/4 X 2"

  Save

  Here is a list of the many products she used:

  • Hugs for Love bundle seen here (punch will be available in April)
  • Moody Mauve, Basic White & Pretty in Pink CS
  • Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP seen here
  • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
  • 2 3/8" circle punch
  • Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder (circle) 
  • Heat embossing technique

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card made by Lori. Her special technique surprised me!  Do you spot it?

  Save

  She stitched her die-cut circle (Spotlight on Nature) with the 3 color pack of Baker's Twine!  

  Her card base is Flirty Flamingo and the 4" X 5 1/4" CS layer is textured with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.  The pretty DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions (now retired). The greeting & die-cuts are from the Memorable Blooms bundle seen here. 

  I'll share more Team swaps tomorrow!
