You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas

February 15, 2021

Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes. I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible! They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them!

This was my favorite and also loved by many others too. I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.

I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling.

And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper. It was Black & White but is now two-toned!

Wonderful leaves, trees & lighthouse card ideas

April 14, 2022

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.

Save

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!

Save

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.

Save

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!

Wow; more incredible swap cards!

April 13, 2022

Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team. You can see the first set here.

The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies. Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue. She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder. Just lovely!

Next is a colorful card made by Candace. She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog. It's called Uniquely Artistic.

Save

She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background. A beautiful floral scene!

Lastly for today is an amazing card made by Mary. She used the Beauty of Friendship bundle.

Save

See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other. Wow!

She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers. Incredibly real looking!

Save

Wasn't I right? I told you they would be incredible!

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.

Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

April 12, 2022

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap. I can't wait to share all of the cards with you! Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.

First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth. It is on the retiring list right now; see it here. The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack. What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle. The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set. This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

~~~

Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch. The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away! See it here.

Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here.

Save

Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here. After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers! Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?

She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first. Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides. Isn't this amazing!
