A cute box with free template and video tutorial too!

March 30, 2022

Marilyn shared this sweet treat box at our last Flowerbug's Team Meeting. She cased it from Pootles. It looks almost like a mini milk carton.

Save

Her box is 2 X 2" and 3 1/4" tall. She used the Pansy Petals designer paper, Soft Succulent card stock and ink. This pretty DSP is retiring now; get it here while supplies last.

I made one for a recent FB Live video too. I chose to use the Flowering Fields DSP; it's so springy!

Save

They're made in Pear Pizzazz and Fresh Freesia card stock and the greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set seen here. The greeting tag is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies which are retiring now and available while supplies last! See the dies here.

She made up a template and another sheet of card stock showing you how it looks after trimming and cutting the template as shown. Watch the video here or below to see how it's made.

Save

It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is similar to a 2 4 6 8 box. Score on the short side at 1 1/2", 3 1/2" & 4 1/2". Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", & 8". Then cut away the areas crossed off and cut up to the score lines as shown.

You'll need 4 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 1 3/4" square. And 4 pieces measuring 1 3/4" X 3/4" for the top. She punched two holes in the top flaps to thread ribbon through to tie in a bow.

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful project Marilyn!

Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Save

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

Save

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!

April 23, 2021
I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much! This first one features the True Love designer paper:

Save

It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need. They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

Save

You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here. The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.

There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper. The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years. Click here to get this kit.

Save

**You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

The kit includes the following:
- Box supplies; cut & scored
- 5-6 pre-cut cards
- Tags; punched and ready for stamping
- Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)
It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.

I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work. You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.

Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

April 22, 2021
I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in. I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set.

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black.

Can you spy all of the new products I used? There are 5 if you count everything.

Save
1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle.
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off). I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)
~~~~

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Save

Look at the new Gingham paper! It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack. Look at the gorgeous ribbon! It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors.

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting. It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes. I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here. Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!
