Flowerbug's Inkspot

3 Awesome Team swap cards!

Here are three of the recent swap cards from our July Flowerbug's Team swap.  I sure have some talented stampers in my group!!

Delores made this pretty card featuring the 'A Wild Rose' and 'Birch' background stamps.  She chose to use the new Rococo Rose in color here with a bit of Merry Merlot, Old Olive and Smoky Slate.  She used all three of the images in the set to create that pretty Rose.  There are dies to match the flower and leaves in this bundle.  See that here:

Then she used just the single outline image on the inside of the card.  Just lovely! 

Sue brought this pretty card  that features the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Delicate Lace and Stitched Nested Label dies.   My photo doesn't to it justice!  The images are heat embossed with our new Shimmer White Embossing powder.  So sparkly in person!  

The color is our new Pretty Peacock.  I love the angle on the lower edge! 

Becky made this card that features both the Nine Lives and Happy Tails stamp sets and the coordinating Dog and Cat punches.  I love how she used the Stitched Nested Labels to cut a window in the White card front and then pop up the same size Black Label die in the same spot. Stitching on both the inside and the outside!  

The dog and cat are stamped on White card stock and punched out.  The clean Black and White is fabulous! 

Thanks for stopping in today!

Back on Your Feet card!

Here's another one of my talented Flowerbug's Team swap cards; this time made by Candace B.  

Isn't this the cutest card?!!  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set for the main image and the greeting. She punched multiple Tailored Tag punches in assorted card stock and made her own background.  Stamping the greeting on the lightest color (So Saffron) really makes it stand out!  

And isn't her coloring amazing!  She sure has a knack with it.  I believe she used Watercolor Pencils and an aqua-painter.  

Her colors are Garden Green, Old Olive, Whisper White, Island Indigo and Coastal Cabana.

Follow Your Art fun fold card & the $56 in free products promotion!!!

Look at this cute and unique fun fold card Jacki made for our Flowerbugs Team swap last weekend.  It’s the perfect card for any crafter.  

She used the It Starts With Art bundle and the Follow Your Art designer paper.  The main stamped image bridges the upper and lower halves of the card.  So neat and super easy too!

Her measurements are:

• Coastal Cabana 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" and 2" X 4 1/4" for the lower piece
• Whisper White 3 1/2" X 2 3/4" and inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
  
• Blushing Bride 3 3/4" X 3"
• Follow Your Art DSP - two pieces at 1 3/4" X 4" 

The little button is die cut from card stock using the  dies.  The images are colored in with Stampin' Write Markers. Here's a photo of this cute bundle:

And here's the coordinating designer paper; 'Follow Your Art'. 

Each month our group has a swap with a theme where we create one project and make enough for everyone in the swap. It’s so neat to see what everyone makes!

It Starts with Art

Look at this adorable card Melissa sent me.  She is so generous and frequently sends cards to her friends. She used the 'It Starts with Art bundle!  

She used Purple Posy with Seaside Spray and a bit of Coastal Cabana.  That cute gingham paper is from the 2019-21 In Color 6 X 6" designer series paper. 

Can you believe the buttons AND the paper clips are made from card stock?!!!!  Yes; they're part of the dies in the Arts & Crafts Dies!

Stampin' Storage; it's all available again! *Get $55 of it FREE!

Have you been waiting and hoping to get your hands on the Stampin' Up! storage items?  Some of them ran out very quickly when they introduced it a few months ago.  

Well it's all back and available!  

I absolutely LOVE mine!  It makes me feel like a real professional crafter!  Silly I know, but it's just so pretty and makes me happy to have it all at hand on my crafting desk.  

What do I like about them?  So much!

1. It's all ready to use; right in front of me.
2. It's organized and the markers are right beside the ink pad so I can tell what marker is what easily.
3. Love the ribbons in the Open Storage Cubes.  They tilt back slightly so the ribbons stay put in the cube for easy access.
4. I have my ink refills on top in the Storage Topper. I've never had my ink refills so close by!
5. The Stampin' Blends Storage Trays also hold my blender pens, aqua-painters, Wink of Stella and extra markers. 
6. The Open Storage Cubes also hold our Half Wide stamp cases as seen in the top photo. (They added DSP inside the case.)
7. It's easy to arrange them in so many different configurations!  You can see the photo below how different they can be!  I started with it this way and easily changed it up to the first photo above. 

Did you know you can get $55 of these storage items FREE?!  TRUE!  Only during July can you take advantage of the Extra, Extra promotion and get $55 in product of your choice FREE!

Beautiful Friendship pair of cards

I created this card for my Team Shoebox swap this weekend using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.  

I sure love this stamp set!  The images in this set are the new 'Distinktive' stamps in photopolymer style.  I chose to use Purple Posy and Granny Apple Green card stock but used Gorgeous Grape ink for the flowers.  

Here's the stamp set; it's full of beautiful flowers and many greeting options. 

It's a fun fold card; gate fold style!  

Measurements:

• Purple Posy 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"; score 2 1/8" from each edge
• White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" for front and inside
• Granny Apple Green 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" 

Here's another card featuring this pretty stamp set made by Karen G.  

She used Highland Heather on her card with a pop of Soft Sea Foam.  It looks darker in my photo here.  

Measurements:

• White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 5 1/4" X 4" and 4" X 3" plus a banner about 1" X 2 3/4"
• Highland Heather 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"

Celebrate with Cake; a stamp set that's NOT in the catalog!

Did you know there are three stamp sets that are new but not in the Annual Catalog?  They're in a special brochure you can see here.

This brochure is geared at new stampers with multiple 'KIT' options!  But everything is also available individually too!  I LOVE the options!  Many of the kits are items Stampin' Up! has put together to make it easy for beginners to purchase 'ready to go' stamping kits.  

You can see many of these options here.

I used the Celebrate with Cake stamp set and just two inks to create these 8 note cards and envelopes.  

I actually cased most of them directly from the sample in the brochure!  Super fun and easy too.  I might still add a bit of glitter, Wink of Stella or rhinestones just because I like some glitz!  But they're super cute on their own too! 

Isn't this an adorable stamp set?  So many cute image options to play with!  See it all here or click on the photos below:

Follow Your Art Sampler!

Look what Melissa made for her July club swap!  Holy moly it's cute!

It's a crafty sampler; and I believe it is about 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" in size. She used the Follow Your Art suite of products for it along with the Hand Lettered Prose alphabet dies.   She cut the letters from the Follow Your Art designer paper. The It Starts with Art bundle includes the stamp set and dies to cut out most of these images here.   

You can see these products here in my online store.  Or click on the photos below. 

To a Wild Rose cards & gift packet

I received this lovely gift from Donna Griffith when I was in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago.  

It's a pouch that holds three note cards and envelopes!  She stamped the cards and greetings using the 'To a Wild  Rose' stamp set.  I believe she used Terra Cotta Tile, Early Espresso and Garden Green inks.

The 5 1/2" X 5" pouch is made with the Mosaic Mood specialty designer paper.  I am going to try to replicate this project soon.  It's a great gift for anyone and looks super easy too!  

I will likely share this on my weekly Facebook Live's sometime soon.  Every Tuesday at 11 am Central Time I share projects and swaps/sneak peeks.  Catch me here on my business page.
