Three more background ideas on these Team swap cards

Our Flowerbug's Team card swap theme was to create our own backgrounds.  I shared three cards yesterday and here are three more:

Yellow is the underlying color on each of these swaps which is a perfect color for summertime. First is a pretty card in a blue & yellow combo by Candy.  

Save

She stamped the Timeless Tile background stamp and then textured it with an embossing folder.  She also used the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Her colors include Misty Moonlight & Daffodil Delight.  Such a beautiful card!

~~~

Next is a card made by Jacki with the Hello Ladybug stamp set & Ladybug Builder punch.

Save

She stamped her background with the daisy image in the stamp set, heat embossing it with White embossing powder.  It sure pops on the Black card stock!  She added Daffodil Delight & White card stock for a poppin' color combo.

I LOVE her bumble bee!  She used the punch for the body (adding Daffodil Delight strips to the Black body) and the wings are punched from Window Sheets.  So clever and fun.

Next is another pretty card made by Paula. She featured the Petal Park, Two-Tone Flora and Timeless Arrangements stamp sets. 

Save

Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Black, White & Old Olive, stamped off.  She added a few Brass Butterflies and our Black & White gingham ribbon.  

I'll share the rest of our swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!

  Here's another pretty card I made on last week's Live video:

  Most of this card is made with the Florals in Bloom designer paper.  Both large pieces of DSP and the small flowers & leaves are fussy cut from it.  The large flower is die-cut from this DSP using the Pretty Florals dies. See the bundle here.

  My colors include Petunia Pop with Secret Sea and White. 

  Which card do you prefer?

  I didn't create a project sheet for this card so I'll share the measurements here.

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score/fold at 5 1/2"
  • DSP on the left 3" X 4 1/4"; DSP on the right 2 1/2" X 5"
  • White circle die-cut 3" X 3 7/8" (Spotlight on Nature dies)

• Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

  May 5, 2025

  ---

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video.  It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow! 

  Save

  My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White.  The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.  

  I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold.  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines.  Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line.  Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers.  *watch the video here to understand

  Save

  This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does.  Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works. 

  But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

  Save

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.
