Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here. 

March waves 1 Save

Dies featured here:

  • The Dandy Wishes dies in  the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here.  I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it.  *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow….. 
  • The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  You can see them here.  I love the double layering you get with them!!  

This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.

You can see how this is assembled in the video below.  I also list the measurements below too. 

The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back.  We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer.  We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush.  We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.

Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time. 

As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors.  I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen!  This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last.  This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'.  For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.

  • You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

    On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

    Med blooms sketch Save

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

    The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

    Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

    Sketch 19 Save

    Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

    The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

  • A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

    Mediterranean blooms diamond Save

    It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

    This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

    How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end.

    I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

    Here's the inside view:

  • Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

    Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

    Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

    Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

    Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

    Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle.

    Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

    Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

    Here's a list of the products she used:

    • So Swirly embossing folder
    • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
    • Exposed Brick embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

    And look how the cauldron opens!! 

    August Paula Potions & Spells Save

    She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

    I'll share more Team swaps next week.
