Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects

August 30, 2022

Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live.

Save

Lots of pretty details on this card:

Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

Save

The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration. See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th. See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here.

The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

Save

I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

Save

I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.

The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here. When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die!

I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here. It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.

Save

The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.

Save

Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st. Sale-a-Bration ends that day.

Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!

These are the last few swaps for our June swap theme of 'using designer paper' on a card.

It's gorgeous in our new Pecan Pie color with Very Vanilla. There's just something about monochromatic cards!

Next is Paula's card; it's a fun fold card featuring the Inked Botanicals designer paper. It's another monochromatic card! She folded back her front card base to show off the designer paper on the inside.

Save

She used the Darling Details bundle for her greeting, flowers & leaves. The greeting die-cut is made with the new Nested Essentials dies.

Designer Paper swap card ideas by my Team

June 23, 2023

I have more Team swaps to share with you today. Our theme for June was to feature designer series paper.

*Remember our designer papers are all discounted in June! It's a great time to grab the packs you want. *see them all here

First up is a gorgeous card made by Ginny featuring the Masterfully Made DSP seen here.

Save
She also used the coordinating bundle called Gorgeously Made seen here. Her colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Bubble Bath and a bit of vellum. The greeting, leaves and torn notebook edge are all dies in this bundle.

Next is a pretty birthday card made by Sharon. She featured the Bright & Beautiful DSP seen here.

Save

She also used the Gold Celebrations 12 X 12 specialty paper too. See the confetti gold acetone on the blue balloon? She also added a few dies and embossing folders as well. Natural Prints dies for the greeting and the Countryside Corners dies for the Misty Moonlight & Berry Burst die-cuts, the Basics 3D (online exclusive) and Cane Weave 3D folders

I'll share the rest of this month's swaps tomorrow.

Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team

June 22, 2023
Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.

This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.

Save
It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not! It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side!

Measurements are as follows:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
- Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right. *same on the inside
Save

It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base. So cool and smart! I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.

She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here. If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.

She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.

Save

Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?) She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker!

Save

It's a 'book-binding' card fold. Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.

Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.

The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!
