The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!


I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!  

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody. 

The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!

  • Nature’s Harvest & Harvest Meadow Sneak Peak!


    Here's a sneak peak of a few products from the upcoming 2021 Holiday Catalog.  

    I used the new bundle called Nature's Harvest and the coordinating Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. From the Annual Catalog I used the two dies called Tailored Tags and Stitched Leaves.  These are going to be one of my 'go to's'!  Click on the photo to see them in my store. 

    The colors here are Cinnamon Cider, White & Soft Succulent. I stamped the flowers in Soft Succulent ink and water-colored them with ink and an aqua-brush.  The die-cut in the bundle cuts it out perfectly.  The greeting is heat embossed with White powder.

    • Cinnamon Cider card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", plus a 3/8" X 5 1/4" strip

  • Look at these fabulous floral cards!


    Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July: 

    First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here.  She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves.  That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle.  There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set! 

    Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well.  Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.  

    Next is a pretty card by Marilyn.  She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here.  She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.  

    Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.  She colored in her floral image with Blends markers.  Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!  

    Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies.  That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  

    Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card!  The greeting is one of my very favorites.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

  • Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper


    This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow.  It could be a lot, or just a little.  We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'.  I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!  

    This first card was made by Barb.  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.  

    I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper!  What a well coordinated card!  I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring.   And look at her inside!  She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!  

    Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper.  You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.  

    She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set.  She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!
