Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!


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!!
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!

  • Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video


    This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards.  I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video) 

    If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot 

    The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

    The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art.  If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique.  I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.


    The Heart Doilies make it super simple.  I used these products on this card:

    The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set.  I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting.  That makes it very versatile to me.

    For January I chose to feature the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer paper for my cards kit to go.  The champagne foil accents and gorgeous patterns were sure to help create beautiful cards.  Look!

    This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping).  You're getting the 10 cards kit for just $4.35!  If you like pre-cut cards you will LOVE my monthly kits to go!

  • Painted Poppies in a window


    Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge.  Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

    I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces! 

    The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".  The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

    Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker.  The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.  

    The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see all of the free items here. 

    I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January.  Details below:
