Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

April 10, 2020

I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in. Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit. So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

I love this peek-a-boo bunny here! Yes; it's fussy cut. There aren't dies for it. She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper. I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool! See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here.

That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it! The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package.

I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring! Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!

The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies. The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square. This layout really highlights the main image.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

November 21, 2024

This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap. This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose. I do love swapping!

We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity!

The first group are January through June:

Save

This next group is July through December:

Save

They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares.

Here's how I decorated the front of mine: I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies. I trimmed the corners to match the coaster.

Save

Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month.

These are January through June:

And these are July through December:

Each one is fabulous! I love seeing everyone's personal style.

More swaps from my talented Demo friends

November 20, 2024

I have a few more swaps to share with you today. These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products.

First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

Save

This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder! It's so cool. You can see it here in my store.

In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock. Yes; it is incredible!

Save

The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite:

This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

Save

That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here.

Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in. I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.
