Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!


Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

 

 

 

 

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

  • Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2


    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

    First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

    Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

    Sampler details:

    • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
    • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
    • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
    • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
    • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2" 

    Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

    Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him….. 


    She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

    The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

    Details:

    • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
    • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
    • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

    Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.  


    She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up: 


    I'll be sharing how to make one of these cards very soon!  


    More to come tomorrow!

  • Earthen Textures card with video tutorial


    I made this card for last week's Live video.  I LOVE the colors and textures!  

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    My colors include Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.  The designer paper for the background is the Earthen Elegance seen here.  I also used the Distressed Gold paper on the large pleated fan/leaf.  The die creates folds so you can add a lot of texture and dimension on your projects.  

    I stamped both die-cut vases in Pretty Peacock ink onto Vanilla card stock.  I then sponged Pecan Pie ink onto them.  I wrapped the tall vase 3 times with the Natural Wavy trim. I've been loving using this unique trim; it was unavailable for over a month but it's back now.  

    You can watch the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.
