Two Elegant cards by my Team

Yesterday I shared two of my Flowerbug's Team swaps here and today I'm sharing two more.  They do a fabulous job on their swaps and I love seeing what they create!

First is Tracey's card featuring the Friends are Like Seashells bundle.  The fact that the die has a coordinating embossing folder (seen here) makes these products AND projects uniquely special.  See it here.

Her colors are Pool Party & Very Vanilla.  She embossed both the Vanilla die-cut layer and the Pool party layer to reveal the embossed dots on the background.  Love this!

Lori made this next card with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer paper seen here.  She colored the gold paper with Mint Macaron ink with Blending Brushes.  That extra pop of gold foil really brings it all together.

Her dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set seen here.  Beautifully elegant!

• Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

  June 26, 2020

  ---

  The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with.  We made these cards at my June card clubs.  It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.

  You can really see the details on the card in this close up view.  That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper. 

  There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper.  It is amazing!  Here's a good view of this paper.

  Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here.  After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers.

  For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP.  This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below! 

  The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles!  I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings. 

   

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"

• Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

  June 25, 2020

  ---

  Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

  Save

  I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  

  Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight?  Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!!  Amazing, but stunning!  

  If you want to see this bundle online, click here. 

  I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

• Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

  June 23, 2020

  ---

  Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

  Save

  The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White – 5 1/4" X 4"
  • Black 3 3/4" square
  • Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.
