Wonderful leaves, trees & lighthouse card ideas


Today's post features the third post of my talented Flowerbug's Team swap cards.  I've been featuring them all week!  Our theme was to make a card with trees, leaves or water.  It was a fun theme and the cards were gorgeous and unique!

The first card here is made by Jacki.  She chose to use the Paradise Palms bundle from the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  

She textured her White layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder and added a 2" strip of the Abstract Beauty specialty DSP across the middle.  It looks like sparkly water!

Next is a card made by Brenda using the Artfully Layered bundle seen here.  I LOVE her unusual color combo of Pool Party, Basic Gray & Petal Pink! 

 

There are so many wonderful textures & details here!  Look closely to find them all; this bundle includes some special dies in it. 

~~~

Jonna made this lighthouse card with the Sailing Home stamp set.  Unfortunately this stamp set was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  

Her colors are Night of Navy, Crumb Cake & White.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create a window; popping up the 'frame' with Dimensionals.  I love how she wrapped the linen thread around the greeting.  

Stop in for the last set of amazing swap cards tomorrow!

  • Thoughtful Journey DSP with Sketched Butterflies – free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. See the video here. 

    The Thoughtful Journey designer series paper was my focus for the video.  I shared multiple ways to use this gorgeous 6 X 6" paper.  And it's 15% off – on sale through August! 

    We made these beautiful cards at my July card clubs:

    This card has a 3" square of designer paper which means you can get 4 cards from one 6 X 6" sheet.  I layered the square with coordinating card stock and added it to a piece of textured card stock that had Boho Blue ink brushed on it with a Blending Brush. The colors are Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight & White. The embossing folder is called Distressed Tile. 

    The greeting and pretty butterfly die-cut are from the Sketched Butterflies bundle seen here. 

    Did you know there's a simple way to turn a standard card into an easy fun fold?  Simply fold back the front layer of a card back to the score line. Then add your layers to that folded piece. 

    The inside has stamped butterflies and a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. The colors in the above card include Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight. 

    Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download July '24 Thoughtful Journey cards

    The colors above include Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia & Mossy Meadow – all taken from the pretty designer paper.

    Below are all three of the cards shown.  

    Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.
