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!!

• Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia

  September 8, 2021

  ---

  If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

  Save

  You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

  Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

  Here's how it's done:

  1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
  2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
  3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
  4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!

• Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

  September 7, 2021

  ---

  On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

  Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

  As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

  Save

  The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

  See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

  DSP Explosion card

• Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

  September 6, 2021

  ---

  We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

  The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

  Save

  It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

  Details:

  • Stacked Stone background stamp
  • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
  • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
  • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
  • Champagne rhinestones

  This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  

  Save

  
  

  I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

  Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

  I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

  This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.
