These pretty cards are the last of the Monochromatic Team swaps

I’ve been sharing our Team swaps this week that all feature a Monochromatic theme. This means the colors should include hues of similar colors. 

First is a pretty and soothing card made by Jacki.   

Save

She used the Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Her colors include Very Vanilla with Crumb Cake.  Her greeting is from the  stamp set seen here.  

I love how the grass image repeats itself on the Vanilla layer in the background.  

Measurements:

• Crumb Cake 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, 3″ X 4 1/4″
• Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″, 2 3/4″ X 4″

Next is a pretty wedding or anniversary card made by Marla.  

Save

She used the Lifetime of Love stamp set seen here and the coordinating dies seen here.  I love how these delicate dies inlay so perfectly.

Her colors include Navy, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake & White. She also used a new embossing folder called Jolly Holly Hybrid seen here.  These leaves allow her to lift them a bit to add more dimension. 

The Designer paper is 2 5/8″ wide and is the Country Lace pack and is discounted and on the Last Chance list now.  See it here.

And lastly is this soft & pretty card made by Paula. 

Save

Her card features the blue tones of Blueberry Bushel with Azure Afternoon. Her stamp sets are Elements of Text seen here and Textured Notes seen here. The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set seen here. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the beautiful Monochromatic swaps this week.  I have a super talented team!

• 3 techniques for the Delicate Dahlia’s stamp set with video

  September 2, 2021

  ---

  I featured the Delicate Dahlia's stamp set on Tuesday's FB Live.  This stamp set is free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now.  See it here. There are three pretty cards using different techniques on each.

  This first technique is called Watercolor Ink Spread. The colors are Magenta Madness & Mango Melody.  I was going for bright & happy colors,

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This technique involves heat embossing an outline image and adding water & ink.  It is recommended to use watercolor paper but it worked fairly well on our Basic White.  However for larger petals or leaves I suggest you use our watercolor paper. Check out the video below for tips.

  This next set of cards is basic 2-step stamping.  In the video I share a helpful tip on lining up two step stamps.  The Stamparatus can be best for most applications but I was stamping all over the panels and did not use it.

  All of the images are in this beautiful stamp set. The colors on the left card are Coastal Cabana, Black, White & Vellum.  The right is Basic Bray, White, Bumblebee & Vellum. 

  I did use our Black glittered ribbon on both.  I did heat emboss a flower on vellum and fussy cut it. It's colored with Blends markers.

  And here is the video; I hope you enjoy watching it to get tips on these two sets of cards plus one more on Poppin' Pastels!

• Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors

  September 1, 2021

  ---

  Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies.  It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.  

  I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting.  This paper is absolutely amazing.  There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!  

  *Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So get it now here while you can!  It's FREE with any $50 order.

  • Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • White 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 1/2" X 2 1/4"
  • Pumpkin Pie 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"

• Look at these fabulous swap cards!

  August 31, 2021

  ---

  We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!  

  This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper.  You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet.  Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating! 

  This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th.  See it here.

  And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold!  These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle.  See it here.

  Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards?  Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle! 

  Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper.  What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel!  She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.
