WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!

Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

Save

She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!

So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.

She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set.

Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

Save

She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

Save

Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.

• Thoughtful Blooms with the Small Bloom punch

  February 21, 2020

  ---

  Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team this month. I just love seeing what my gals create for our swaps!

  The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set coordinates with the Small Blooms punch.  See them here and here: 

  Save

  Jacki made this beautiful card.  I love the many layers and details here. And the colors are fresh and unique – Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay and White.  She used the new Label Me Fancy punch, the Starburst punch, Leaf punch and the Painted Label dies for the swirl.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments set. That gorgeous texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. 

  Candace made this unique card below: 

  Save

  Her colors are Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.  Isn't this layout fun?!  the technique is called Triple Stamping.  You place your White layers in position as shown without the Grape layers in between and stamp on the three pieces all at once.  Then add the Grape layers and adhere to your main card.  Super easy and fun too. 

  She added a pretty greeting in Purple Posy with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (my favorite!) and the punched flowers from the Small Bloom punch. 

  Measurements:

  • Grape – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 4 1/4" X 3 1/4" and 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • White – 4" X 5 1/4", 4" X 3" and 3" X 2"

• Lovely Lily Pad with Lily Pad dies to match!

  February 20, 2020

  Waterlilies are so trendy now and these reversible Lovely Lily Pad stamps in the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog are beautiful!

  I'm sharing more of my Team swaps from our meeting earlier this month.  Many of my team choose to join in our monthly swaps.  Our swaps are optional and work like this: design one card and make one for everyone in the swap. If there are 12 people in the swap you make 12 of the same cards.  Then send or bring them to me and I sort them out and return them to everyone participating.  It's so fun to get all different cards back when you only had to create one!

  First is Mary's pretty card: 

  Save

  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies on three of her layers here!  Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive.  A little bit of Rococo Rose and Coastal Cabana too.  The Lily Impressions designer paper has tons of pretty colors in it.  

  Roxann made this next card. She also used a Bermuda Bay card base but focused on Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green as her colors. 

  Save

  It truly looks like water is reflecting the flowers on this pretty Lily Impressions designer paper.  This paper is a free choice with any $50 order right now. See them here. 

  Her greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts set; also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

  Bobby created this pretty card below.   It also reminds me of a water garden with lilies in it.

  Save

  Her colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Grapefruit Grove.  Isn't that border die beautiful?  I also like that peek of a vellum lily behind the largest lily.  I have a bunch of talented ladies on my Team!  

  If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator I'd love to have you in my Flowerbug's group.  Read about that opportunity here.

• Happy Birthday to You SAB set swaps

  February 19, 2020

  ---

  Two more pretty card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team today.  These two cards are similar in layout but still so different.

  This Happy Birthday to You stamp set (seen here) is free with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  And now there is a set of dies to match!  Click on the photo below to see those. My customers love it when there are dies to match; no fussy cutting!

  Save

   

  First is Deloris's card in Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight.  

  Save

  She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for her White layer and the greeting.  The cake and the flowers are cut out with the Birthday Dies seen above.  She colored the images with Blends markers.  The texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder. 

  Next is Karen's card; she used Pacific Point with Daffodil Delight and Silver foil  

  Save

  Her stamped cake and the Silver cake stand are cut out with the Birthday dies.  She textured her Pacific Point layer with the Coastal Weave embossing folder. 

  Like I said; these two cards are similar but not! 

  This pretty stamp set fits just about any celebration that involves cake; which in our family is just about everything!
