Amazing Bag of Bones Halloween & Pick of the Patch swap cards


We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and I'm excite to share these amazing swap cards with you.

First up is a gorgeous card made by Candace that features the Bag of Bones bundle. 

She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.  

Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies.  The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle. 

This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here. 

Measurements:

  • Black card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", layer for DSP is 2" X 5 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Them Bones DSP 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" 
  • Circles from Stylish Shapes – 1 1/4", 1 5/8" and 3"

Check out the inside; she jazzed it up with strips of cardstock and designer paper.  

Sharon made this adorable card with the same bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.  

She added the cool 'Glow in the Dark' bats & ghosts to her middle panel. The skeleton is stamped with Black Stazon ink on Glow in the Dark specialty paper (seen here) as well!  So cool!  

It's a spanner card!  She jazzed up the inside layers too.  

Measurements:

  • Starry Sky card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Then cut up to center score line at 1 1/2" from both sides.  Horizontal strip is 5 1/2" X 1 1/2"
  • Black layers – front sides are 1 3/8" X 4 1/8", center 2 3/8" X 4 1/8" and 2 3/8" X 1 1/8" for greeting
  • Designer paper – front side panels 1 1/4" X 4", back inside 1 3/8" X 4 1/4"
  • Cajun Craze center 2 1/4" X 4"
  • White inside 2 1/2" X 4"

What a fabulous card! 

Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins.  Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.  

The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder.  It's a new favorite for many! 

I'll share more fabulous team swaps tomorrow!  See three other gorgeous swaps here

  • Easy Christmas Ornament card


    I think this is pretty clever & unique; it's a 'faux' Christmas ornament on a card. And it's quick & easy too!  

    It looks so real; like you could lift it off!  And you actually could if you use temporary adhesive; or add it to a pocket.  

    I shared this project on a FB Live last week.  It's the second project I made in this video.  

    Products used:

    • Merry Melody embossing folder on the White CS
    • The ornament is made with the largest smooth circle in our Circles dies. 
    • The DSP is called Painted Christmas and is in low inventory right now.  
    • Elegant Trim for the 'hanger'. 
    • Brushed Metallic specialty CS for the 'hanger'. 
    • Heat embossing for the greeting – from the Words of Cheer stamp set. 
    • CS is Real Red, White & Evening Evergreen 

    Here's a close-up of it. 

    I give a few hints in the video on achieving this.  Basically you want to stamp your greeting first and add it to your DSP.  THEN cut both pieces out at the same time with your circle die.

  • Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!


    We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

    I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

    The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
