Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

Sailboats & Palm Trees featured in today’s card swaps!

April 15, 2022

Today's post are the last of my talented Flowerbug Team swaps for April. Our theme was water, trees or leaves and I've been sharing their cards all week! It's so fun to see everyone's style and actually receive cards from people across the country. I LOVE swapping!

The first card is made by Candy; she is featuring the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Black.

Save

That pretty die-cut across and under the greeting is part of the Palm dies in the bundle. She used the Double Oval punch for her greeting.

It's stunning and a perfect 'guy' card! Thank you for sharing your fabulous card with us.

Save

The next card was made by Tammi. She used the Let's Set Sail bundle in the 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog. This bundle is returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May. I love this punch!

Save

She created her own watercolor background by washing diluted color (Pool Party & Balmy Blue) onto her White CS. She also textured her background with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. This folder is retiring now and it's on sale too! I'm so sad about it as I think it's a staple. It is a perfect way to add texture without a lot of busyness. See it here; get it while you can!

Wonderful leaves, trees & lighthouse card ideas

April 14, 2022

Today's post features the third post of my talented Flowerbug's Team swap cards. I've been featuring them all week! Our theme was to make a card with trees, leaves or water. It was a fun theme and the cards were gorgeous and unique!

The first card here is made by Jacki. She chose to use the Paradise Palms bundle from the 2022 Jan-June catalog.

Save

She textured her White layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder and added a 2" strip of the Abstract Beauty specialty DSP across the middle. It looks like sparkly water!

~~~

Next is a card made by Brenda using the Artfully Layered bundle seen here. I LOVE her unusual color combo of Pool Party, Basic Gray & Petal Pink!

Save

There are so many wonderful textures & details here! Look closely to find them all; this bundle includes some special dies in it.

~~~

Jonna made this lighthouse card with the Sailing Home stamp set. Unfortunately this stamp set was on the retiring list and is already sold out.

Save

Her colors are Night of Navy, Crumb Cake & White. She used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create a window; popping up the 'frame' with Dimensionals. I love how she wrapped the linen thread around the greeting.

Stop in for the last set of amazing swap cards tomorrow!

Wow; more incredible swap cards!

April 13, 2022

Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team. You can see the first set here.

The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies. Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue. She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder. Just lovely!

Next is a colorful card made by Candace. She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog. It's called Uniquely Artistic.

Save

She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background. A beautiful floral scene!

Lastly for today is an amazing card made by Mary. She used the Beauty of Friendship bundle.

Save

See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other. Wow!

She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers. Incredibly real looking!

Save

Wasn't I right? I told you they would be incredible!

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.
