Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!

September 13, 2022

I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team. Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle. She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here.

First is a card that reminds you of 'candy corn'.

Details:

She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.
The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.
The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set.
The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White.

Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking! The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies. She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.

And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red.

Details:

Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel.
The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.
I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!

Control Freaks Blog Hop; ‘Can’t Live Without’ theme

April 19, 2022
This month the Control Freaks are sharing their favorite retiring products in a 'Can't Live Without' theme. There are so many wonderful items on the Last Chance list this year! Be sure to really look at it so you have no regrets when they're no longer available.

Save

If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all. Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog. I love her style!

I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!

This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White. I love a black & white card with a pop of color.

Save

The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May.

I used the 'Floating' technique here. I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies. Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder.

Products retiring:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- All Together 6 X 6" DSP
I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts! They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Save

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold. The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.

I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.

Save

Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog.

I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring. It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale!

Retiring items:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- Flowering Fields DSP
- Tailored Tag punch

A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.

I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.

Save

The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.

I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!

Save

The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.

You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

Blending Brush border idea with Artfully Layered; so pretty!

April 18, 2022
I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live video. I LOVE the colors and style; they're so my style!

Save

I chose to play with the Artfully Layered bundle seen here in colors of Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. Having a lot of 'white space' makes the textures & pretty leaves the clear star of the card.

Save

I used a blending brush to blend the two inks on a piece of White card stock and then cut the leaf die-cut from that.

For the multi-colored border underneath I used the blending brush to add the same colors. I love the effect!

Save

The cross-hatch texture is made with the dies in the bundle. There are two of them in the set that give textures.

Save

I also used the Faux Sea Glass shapes for accents.

Save

The measurements are in the post below but here they are again:
- White card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 4 ¾”, sponged layer 3 ¾” X 5”
Save

Click on the photo below to watch the video; it's the first project of three. And be sure to follow me on Facebook here.
