Today I'm sharing the last batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme was to feature glitz, shine or glimmer.  They truly did their best to show off our beautiful specialty papers!

Jacki made this card using the Night Divine dies seen here.  *Unfortunately it's retiring and available while supplies last.

  The Happy Birthday greeting inside the left card is from the Best Year stamp set.

  Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

  First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

  Save

  She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

  Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

  Save

  Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

  Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

  Save

  The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

• 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!
