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


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.  

 

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.  

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! 

 

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!

  • Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!


    I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

    It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time. 

    This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

    Details:

    • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
    • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
    • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

    This card opens up like this: 

    There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

    Measurements for the Pull-Up Penguin Gift Card

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, DSP 2” X 3 ¾”
    • Black card 4” X 11” scored at 3 ½” & 8 ¾”
    • Inside Thick White 2 ½” X 5 ½” or 6” scored at 3/4" from each end
    • Front white 2” X 3”, Black 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Red 2 ½” X 3 ½”

    Below is the video tutorial.  It's the third & last project I share.

  • Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!


    Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 


    Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently! 

    I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

    I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points. 


    I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included. 

    Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11"
    • White – two at 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” cut one section off diagonally
    • Purse 4” X 9 ½” scored on the 4” side at ½” & 3”, scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 4 ½”, 5”, 5 ½” & 9”


    Below is the video for 3 different gift card options.  I'll share details on one more unique card tomorrow.

  • Need Gift card ideas? I have three!


    Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live.  You can see it here.

    I'm sharing the first one today: 

    I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle. 

    It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4".  Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  

    Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here. 

    Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make!  Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options.  I'll share details on another tomorrow.
