Power of Hope Bundle swap cards


I have a lot of swaps to show you this week.  My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing!  Each day I'll share a few with you.

First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with any $100 purchase.  You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder.  Look!

Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern.  She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here.  She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look. 

She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below.  The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.  

Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors.  So elegant!  The greeting is heat embossed.  Look at what she did on the inside of the card!  Unique and special.  

You can see this bundle here in my online store.

  • 2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet


    Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set. 

    This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad!  It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with.  See the Quiet Reflection set here. 

    My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch). 

    Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water?  It's so simple!  

    How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce.  The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.  

    I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here.  I love these so much!  They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects. 

    In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.

  • Gorgeous ways to add color to the Quiet Reflection stamp; with video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the projects I featured on last week's Live video.  I chose to showcase the Quiet Reflection stamp set and ways you can add color to the solid image. 

    You can see this stamp set online here.  It's not retiring; it will return in the new Annual Catalog.  It's a beautiful sympathy set. 

    I chose to use Starry Sky with Shaded Spruce. The dies are the Thoughtful Expressions dies and sadly they are already out of stock; they were on the retiring list and they've sold out.  

    Notice the two toned image here.  This one is simply a matter of inking in Blue and stamping. Then ink a sponge dauber in green ink and dab over the stamped image.  So easy! 

    I do have a free project sheet with the directions, measurements & supplies list.  See it here.  Download Quiet Reflection 2-toned

    In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.  I'll share the card on the right below tomorrow.
