Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

October 28, 2022

This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event. I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!

Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle.

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake.

Details:

It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.
She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle.

A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card. Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2".

The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square. Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square.

She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow. She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.

Here's her inside view:

Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.

Check out the Last of the July Team swaps

August 2, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last of our July Team swap cards. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers.

Jackie made this special fun fold card that has a gift card option:

It's held together with a belly band with a greeting attached. She used the Bright & Beautiful designer paper – it carried over from last year's annual catalog and can be seen online here.

Products used:
- Her greeting is from the Layering Leaves set
- Greeting dies are from Something Fancy seen here
- The texture is from the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here
The front right flap folds back and is secured at the top and bottom leaving space to add a gift card or money if you'd like.

Measurements:
- Blueberry Bushel card base 11" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/4", 5 1/2", 9 1/4"
- Designer paper left front & inside panels 1" X 5 1/4", right front panel is 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
- White inside 3 5/8" X 5", textured right panel 3 1/4" X 5"
- Black inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- Belly band 7 1/2" X 3/4"

Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle. These products can be seen online here.

Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White. She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside. Cute detail!

Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

August 1, 2024

This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers.

Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.

Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background. Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here.

I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla. She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon.

Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

More fabulous Team swaps with Online Exclusives!

July 31, 2024
Today's Team swaps both feature Online Exclusive products. This means the items are only seen online and are not in any printed publication. There are so many available it's crazy! See them all here.

This first card is a fun fold and made by Paula. She created an incredibly beautiful card with the Sophisticated Sled bundle!

The sled and ice skates are incredibly realistic! This new Sled bundle is amazing. You can see it here.

It's a really neat fun fold card where the right front flap overlaps the left layer of designer paper. She featured the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper here too.

Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, White, Crumb Cake & Silver.

Measurements:
- Mossy Meadow card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" fold/score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Cherry Cobbler 6 1/2" X 4 1/4" fold/score at 3 1/4"
- DSP – left panel is 3" X 5 1/4", right is 3" X 4"
- White inside 3" X 4"
Look at the detail on these die-cuts!!

Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not.

Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable!

Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
