Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

March Deloris Save

She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

March Kim Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

March Candy Save

Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    Save

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

  • Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial

    There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

    Save

    This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

    I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

    The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

    Save

    Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

    The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.

  • A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!

    Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

    Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

    Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

    I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

    Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

    Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

    Save

    The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!
