Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!

  I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

  These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

  Marilyn made this pretty card:

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

  Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

  Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

  Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.  

  Save

  The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

  The dimensions are:

  • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
  • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
  • Banish all score lines toward the center
  • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

  It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

  Save

  Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

  The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

  So creative and unique!  

  Here is a photo of all of the incredible swap cards by my Team in October. I hope you've enjoyed this weeks posts featuring their cards.

• Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

  October 28, 2022

  This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

  Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

  Save

  Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

  Details:

  • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
  • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
  • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

  Save

  Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle. 

  Save

  A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

  The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

  She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

  Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.  

  Save

  Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow.  She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.  

  Here's her inside view:

• Merriest Moments & Spruced Up Christmas card ideas

  October 27, 2022

  ---

  This week it's all about sharing October's Team swaps with a Christmas theme.  I know you love seeing what they make as much as I do!

  First is a gorgeous card made by Kim with the Merriest Moments stamp set & Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder.  These products were a bundle in last year's Holiday catalog, but this year they are offered separately.  

  Save

  She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.  

  Did you know you can cut and emboss card stock at the same time with our Hybrid embossing folder & dies?  See them here; it's sooo cool! 

  Save

  Absolutely stunning!

  Next up Paula used the same dies and stamp set, plus she added the Christmas Banners bundle to it as well.  

  Her colors are Real Red with Garden Green & White.  

  Save

  She turned it into a fun fold too but scoring the front panel one extra time at 2 1/8".  Look closely at the many die-cuts she has here! 

  Next is a beautiful card made by Brenda in blues & white with lots of layers.  

  Save

  She used the Spruced Up bundle seen here for the trees with lots more product as well.  

  Details:

  • Twigs & Springs embossing folder for the large White layer (seen in the annual catalog here)
  • She embossed her Vellum card stock with the Wintry 3D embossing folder
  • The DSP is the Storybook Gnomes seen here
  • That iridescent Snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes seen here; all cut & ready for you & a great value!
