Flowerbug's Inkspot

Floral Essence window card!

I received this beautiful swap from my downline Mary. She used the Rectangle stitched framelits to create a window that really shows off the Perennial Essence designer series paper.  

She used the Floral Essence stamp set and punch bundle to add the pretty flower.  Sweet & simple!  

I'm featuring this pretty designer paper for my July Cards Kit to Go.  See the details on that option here.  If you like to get kits where everything is cut out and ready for you to stamp & assemble you would love  my monthly card kits!  

Each month I feature a different designer paper & stamp set and create at least 10 cards; many of them fancy folds.  This month I also include a few bonus card ideas too.  

Be sure to opt in by July 19th to get this kit to go!

Samples from a Good Man stamp set

This was a big favorite for some people at my June Open House event.  If you've been around Stampin' Up! for awhile you might remember the 'Sketches' series of stamp sets.  Many of us loved to color these images in with watercoloring or just leave them on their own.  

This set can be used the same way as you'll see in these samples:

This first card is a swap I received from Cara at Cara's Crafty Nook.  Isn't her coloring gorgeous?!  And the corrugated embossing folder works beautifully here. 

This one is a swap from Dena Rasmussen.  She used the Pinewood Planks embossing folder and inked it up before running it through the Big Shot. Beautifully done! 

My friend Dawn Olchefske made this one for a swap I participated in.  I love her clean & simple style. 

Dawn and I are currently in Rome, staying at an apartment with our guys.  We're both from the midwest and get along wonderfully.  We have a busy three days in Rome before we leave on the Greek Islands cruise on Sunday.  

This last one was created by my friend Annette for my display boards.  She stamped the main image and then stamped it again on a post it note.  She cut out the image on the note and placed it over the stamped image before she stamped the trees from Winter Woods.   This makes the trees appear 'behind' the main image.  She sponged on green and blue ink for a soft back ground. Love it!

Come Sail Away WOW cards

I have a bunch of beautiful cards featuring the Come Sail Away bundle and suite I haven't shared with you yet.  

I cased this one from a card I found on Pinterest made by Cindy Elam; one of the Control Freaks.  I changed it up so it's a horizontal card instead of vertical like hers. The embossing folder is now retired but we have a similar one called High Seas 3D.  The colors here are Seaside Spray with Navy, Crumb Cake and White. 

This is another case we made for my display boards featuring this suite.  I cannot find the original card now but isn't this fantastic?  I especially love the rope edge on the greeting banner.  That is made with the rope trim in the Smooth Sailing dies. 

This is a swap I received from my friend Sandy Carlson.  She is a wonderful designer and I always love her cards. I especially like how she made the most of the designer paper here.  Use up those strips!  Love the greeting shape; from the Smooth Sailing dies also.

Another case from Pinterest made by my friend and helper Annette.  She cut out two circles using dies and then cut the Navy one into pieces to lay over the White one.  Then wrap the Baker's twine around it to cover the edges.  Neat isn't it!!?

Good Morning Magnolia

This beautiful stamp set has been a big favorite among many stampers.  Have you seen all of the samples on Pinterest?!

There are tons of products in the Magnolia Lane Suite!  See it all on page 37 of your catalog.  Or click here. 

Here are a few swap cards I received featuring these products: 

This one is from Becca Waege.  I love the simplicity of it and how it shows off the pretty Magnolia Lane designer paper, the images, the lace trim and the Bird Ballad trinkets.  Also note the wonderful Timeless Label punch she used.  It's new! 

Deb Snyder made this card.  It's a latch card!  The flower and punched circle catches the front flap of the card here. 

I think it's wonderful how the Magnolia Lane designer paper peeks out from the side edge. 

See the entire suite of products here.

The Floral Essence suite of products is one of everyone's favorites in the new catalog.  Take a look at this suite of products here. 

Candace used a few of them on her swap card for our Flowerbug's Team swap in June. It really shows off this gorgeous Perennial Essence designer paper!

She used a nice big piece of the designer paper so you can see how pretty it is. She added some great touches with the Detailed Lace dies and the pretty Rose metallic thread.  The stamp set is the Floral Essence stamp set. 

Here's a glimpse of the beautiful Perennial Essence designer paper.  Doesn't it remind you of a Monet painting? 

I'm featuring this amazing designer paper in my July cards kit to go.  I'll share those cards in a week or so.

Her colors are Mint Macaron with the new In Color of Terracotta Tile.  You are also seeing the new Mint ribbon here too!  See the entire suite on page 119 or click here.

I heat embossed the trim image with clear embossing powder. 

This card is another swap I received from Mercedes Weber.  She also fussy cut the hummingbird from the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The textured background is done with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.  That gorgeous die-cut is from the Stitched Labels dies.
