I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live.  This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.  

Here's my favorite project:

I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS.  I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.

• Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

  March 24, 2025

  ---

  I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video.  I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place. 

  Save

  My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White.  The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card. 

  I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP. 

  We made this project at last week's Team gathering.  They loved it!

  Products used:

  • Botanical Textures DSP seen here

  • Beautiful Butterflies stamp set

• Last of the Clean & Simple Team swaps!

  March 21, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the last of the March Team swaps with the Clean & Simple theme.  No designer paper!

  Lori created with pretty card with the Linked Together bundle seen here. 

  Save

  This bundle has stamps, dies and masks which is how she created her background.  All using Bubble Bath ink! 

  Save

  I love her soft background and the die accents she added by the greeting.  Just gorgeous!  

  Save

  Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She chose to use the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  She also stamped a soft background behind the flower using the Elements of Text set.  Her color include Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake with a bit of green on the leaves.  

  I love how she stamped the inside; that bee is adorable. 

  Save

  And lastly is this beautiful all White card made by Jonna.  

  Save

  White on White is hard to photograph; I wish you could see how elegant it is in person!  

  She used the Seaside Wishes bundle along with a bunch of score lines on the left side. This little touch anchors the seashells wonderfully!  

  I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented team swaps this month!

• More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

  March 20, 2025

  I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

  Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

  First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

  Save

  She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

  Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

  Save

  Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.  

  Save

  Just gorgeous Paula!!

  And look at the incredible card Jacki made!  

  Save

  She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder.  Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look. 

  Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

  Save

  She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils.  Beautifully done!  

  I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!
