Stunning Marbled Elegance swap cards


Today I'm sharing some card swaps I received from a mail out swap I participated in.   These cards all feature the Marbled Elegance suite seen online here.  

First up is a pretty card made by my friend Kelly Acheson: 

She added a bunch of gold elements plus a fussy cut 'xoxo' greeting. She heat embossed the greeting, used Gold Foil for her die-cut heart and DSP layer plus the new Twisted Gold thread and Gold Adhesive-backed Hearts. Whew!

This next card was created by another sweet friend from Minnesota, Kay Kalthoff.  

She used the Classic Wedding bundle seen here.  So cute!  Love the car with the 'just married' banner added to the back.

Next is a beautiful card made by another Minnesota friend; Sandy Carlson.  

Her colors are Melon Mambo with Gold & white. She used two of the heart dies in the bundle plus textured the White square die-cut with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love banners and adding that 2" banner on the left adds a good amount of this Marbled Elegance DSP without overpowering the card.

Lastly we have a gorgeous card made by my friend Ruth Bingle from Arkansas. We love to hang out together on our SU trips. She's a doll!

Her card has a center flap opening.  I didn't get a photo of the inside though.  She used the Metal plate folder for her embossed strips on the side.  Isn't that gold textured heart die-cut gorgeous!?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.

  • Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts


    Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

    I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

    And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)? 

    Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

  • Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!


    This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away!  Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards. 

    I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of. 

    This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration. 

    I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

    I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

  • Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video


    This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards.  I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video) 

    If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot 

    The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

    The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art.  If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique.  I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.


    The Heart Doilies make it super simple.  I used these products on this card:

    The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set.  I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting.  That makes it very versatile to me.
