Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!

Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

Save

This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.

The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now.

Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back!

• Flowers for Every Season & more!

  July 28, 2020

  ---

  Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors. 

  First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

  Save

  Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly. 

  Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also. 

  Save

  What a fun layout!  Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer?  That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder.  The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.  

  Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane.  She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.  

  Save

  The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings.  Love these delicate dies!  

  Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better?  They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully.  It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!

• Hippo’s & Dandelions?

  July 27, 2020

  ---

  Today I have two more swap cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I still have more to share yet! 

  The first card is made by a brand new demonstrator; Tracey.  This was her first swap too!  She used the new Hippo Happiness bundle. 

  Save

  Her colors are Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness.  She stamped her own background using some of the images in the set.  That swirly die-cut we all love is from the Painted Labels die-cuts.  Such a sweet card! 

  I LOVE these dies; look at all of the labels. There are 9 of them! 

  Save

  Karen made this pretty card below with the new Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  

  Save

  She used our Vellum card stock; did you know when you run it through an embossing folder it turns 'white' or opaque?  So cool!  You'll start looking at using vellum and your folders more now, right?  She added adhesive to the back of the flower heads and behind the greeting.  

  Her sentiment if from the Forever Fern stamp set and is punched out with the new Rectangular Postage Punch. 

  More swap cards coming up!

• Nothing’s Better Than cards

  July 24, 2020

  ---

  Have you noticed the 'Nothing's Better Than' bundle yet?  You will want to check it out on page 91 of the Annual Catalog.  

  Candace made two CUTE cards with it and the new Rainbow Glimmer paper. 

  First up is a fun card with a ton of stitched die-cut circles from glimmer paper for a background.  

  Save

  Her colors are Just Jade with Misty Moonlight and Early Espresso. The stitched circles are all part of the Rainbow Glimmer paper!

  Save

    

  Her next card uses the same bundle except she stamped and colored the chocolates and cookies this time.  I believe she used watercolor pencils for her coloring. 

  Save

  The 'Chocolate' greeting die-cut is the same Rainbow glimmer paper seen here!  You can see this cute bundle here. 

  Save

  You'll see more swaps and talent tomorrow!
