Around the Bend with the stunning Fine Shimmer paper


Here's another sample of the Around the Bend bundle. This time I featured the Dainty Flowers DSP from Sale-a-Bration and the Fine Shimmer specialty paper. 

The Fine Shimmer specialty paper comes in three colors – two 12 X 12" sheet of each in Soft Succulent, Gold & Fresh Freesia. You can see it here.  

I cut the curved layers and the leaves in the bundle from the Soft Succulent sheet.  Because this specialty paper is slightly thicker than most papers I added a shim of copy paper in my sandwich.  It helped a lot!  

Below you can see this Around the Bend bundle.  I think the curves are totally unique from anything we've had before.  I evenlike the greetings! 

You can choose from Photopolymer (clear) or Cling (red rubber) when ordering this stamp set or bundle.  There are several with this option in the 2023 Spring catalog. See it here.

I made a bunch of these for our January card swap with my Flowerbug's Team. We hold an optional swap each month with a variety of themes. This time was to use products from the Sale-a-Bration or 2023 Spring catalog. 

You can see another pretty card here using this same bundle. 

Below is the video where I made this card; it's the 2nd project.

  • The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!


    You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular.  It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.  

    Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy!  So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

    I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here.  There are so many they have their own category!  

    This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper.  The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper!  No measuring needed!!

    This pretty designer paper is in low inventory.  Do you have it yet?  It's just beautiful!

    My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.  

    Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock.  You start at the upper center.  Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off.  *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success. 

    Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink. 

     

    Which do you prefer?  One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.  

    I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.

    As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not!  I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.  

    I chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" designer paper (currently in low inventory). Both of these are Online Exclusives.  My colors are Lost Lagoon with Soft Sea Foam.  

    There is a little fold of card stock under the stamped White tag that pops it up when the card is opened. 

    Here's a peek at it.  There are three rolled up mini glue dots on the peak of this piece that adheres the tag to it.  

    I made a second version during the video using Petal Pink card stock.

  • Abundant Beauty sunflower notecards with video tips


    Here are a few more sunflower cards I shared on a recent video. All using the new Abundant Beauty decorative masks from the upcoming Holiday catalog.   

    These are our Vanilla notecards & envelopes.  They're in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.  They're perfect for quick thank you cards or an addition to a gift.  

    Here are the steps to creating the sunflowers.  I shared tips in the video below: 

    There are 4 masks – the petals, the solid center, the details center and the leaves.  I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Old Olive inks.

    For my greeting I chose the new stamp set So Sincere.  It's filled with beautiful greetings; you're absolutely going to want it!
