Striking card swaps; Black & White with a ‘Pop’ of color


Our Flowerbug's Team swap theme in March was to make a Black & White card with a pop of color.  I'm proud to share the cards my talented gals made in today's post.  

First is Candy's card featuring Melon Mambo as her pop of color.  

Details:

  • She used the Happiest of Birthdays (retiring) & Dragonfly Dreams stamp sets
  • Lots of Stitched Rectangle die-cuts! 
  • Black CS is 5 1/4" X 4"
  • DSP is 5" X 2 1/4" Pattern Party host paper in the Annual Catalog (retiring!)
  • White 3/4" frayed ribbon from the Jan-June catalog
  • Her dragonfly is punched using the Dragonflies punch (in a bundle now at 10% off)

Next is Karen's card featuring Granny Apple Green.

Details:

  • She used the Scalloped Contour and Artistic dies
  • She offset the same size Black & White scalloped die-cut!
  • the ribbon is gingham; it carried over from the Holiday catalog
  • Her DSP is 4" X 5 1/4" & is also the Pattern Party host paper – retiring now! 
  • the bling is Iridescent Rhinestone gems 

Next is Karen G's card featuring Polished Pink:

Details:

  • Butterfly dies are from the Brilliant Wing dies in the Annual Catalog
  • DSP is 3 3/4" X 5" and is Pattern Party host paper
  • Black CS is 4" X 5 1/4" & aa 3/4" X 4" strip, White strip is 1/2" X 3 3/4" strip, Circle is 2 3/8"

Next is Paula's striking card with Real Red & Granny Apple Green. 


Details:

  • She used the Medium daisy punch with Real Red CS & Vellum layering designs
  • The designer paper is also Pattern Party host paper!
  • She cut the Black & DSP paper into those points using the Basic Borders dies
  • The double oval punch was used for her greeting layers, sprig & Medium Daisy punch too.

    The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

    This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

    I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
    A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

    This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

    I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

    Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

  • Quick & Pretty Traditions of Christmas with video


    I shared how to create these beautiful Christmas cards on last week’s video. Scroll down to grab the free project sheet or watch the video.

    Aren’t they beautiful? Flower bouquet’s for Christmas? Absolutely!
    My colors include White, Real Red, Old Olive & Mossy meadow.

    These are made with a few products from the 2025 Holiday catalog and one from our Online Exclusives. Here’s the list:

    – Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper
    – Christmas Greenery dies seen here
    – Traditional Labels stamp set seen here
    – Peaceful Greenery embossing folder (now discounted) seen here
    – Textured Notes dies seen here

    Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper

    Whew! Seems like a lot but you could easily substitute other products. Instead of using the Christmas Greenery dies the bouquet from the DSP could be fussy cut.

    I’ve used this pretty designer paper a lot this season. It’s a sure winner with it’s gold foil accents. And it’s now discounted! See it here.

    It’s so easy to die-cut the florals with the dies in the Christmas Greenery dies I might just make a few more of these cards.
    I did texture the front of the card base but you could easily add a second layer to the front instead.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it and save to a folder on your computer.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more quick Christmas card. I hope you watch it!
