Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!

At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

IN YOUR WORDS HOST CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim.

These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green.

Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.

The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.

The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set.

I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here.

These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

Which is your favorite??

And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.

  • AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card

    We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

    August Jacki Gone Fishing Save

    Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

    She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

    August Gone Fishing inside Save

    Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

    I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

    I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….

    All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.

  • Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps

    Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front.  I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more: 

    First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

    August Paula Earthen Textures Save

    She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!  

    Lots of details and textures here:

    1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush. 
    2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer. 
    3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece  as a second decorative element.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"

    ~~~

    Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper: 

    August Annette Masterfully Made Save

    It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front.  But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper! 

    Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock?  It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front.  She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front.  What a neat idea!  

    Here's the inside view.  She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.  

    I believe her measurements are: 

    • DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.  
    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)

    August Candy Sweet & Precious Save

    Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4"
    • Pretty Peacock 4" square

    Details:

    • She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers. 
    • The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
    • The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
    • The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.

  • Check out these Team swap cards!

    Today I'm sharing a few of our August Flowerbug's Team swaps.  Our theme was to create a card without a greeting on the front.  It was quite the challenge for some of us!!  

    First is a fractured card made by Karen.  She shared how to make it and we were all blown away by how easy it is! 

    August Karen Truck Save

    I loved it so much I shared how to make it in a recent video.  See it here and my blog post here. 

    She featured the Inked Botanicals designer paper and the Trucking Along bundle.  The Truck builder punch is unavailable at this time; it will be back in October.  Her card base & 1/4" strips are Calypso Coral.  Love that truck full of flowers!

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Cheerful Daisies bundle seen here. 

    August Sharon Cheerful Daisy Save

    She added lots of die-cut daisies & leaves; some are sponged. She added the circles image (from Timeless Arrangements) using the Baby Wipe method.  Love this look!  And after stamping the circles she textured it with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders (online exclusive).  Plus she colored the White glittered ribbon (another online exclusive) by sponging on color.  So many great details! 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary who featured the Darling Details bundle seen here. 

    August Mary Little Details Save

    The pretty & delicate frame adds beautiful detail to the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in the center.  Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry.  

    This wonderful bundle may have slipped your notice; here's a photo of both the stamp set & dies:
