Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets


Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.  

First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP.  We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors. 

The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP.  The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies.  That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here.  All contribute to making this card stunning! 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP are both 3" X 4"

Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made.  She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White.  The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.  

The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder.  The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here.  The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.  

Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Soft Suede – 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4"

Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula.  She cased a card made by Colleen Magness.  It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping.  Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.  

She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker.  Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp.  Huff & stamp!  

The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here.  It's new!  

Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"
  • Pumpkin Pie 5 3/8 X 4 1/8" 

Remember that if you're wanting any of the Holiday Catalog products it's smart to order in August so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!

I'll share the rest of our Team swaps soon.

  • Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards


    Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

    First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies: 

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

    Measurements:

    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

    The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last. 

    This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

    Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

    Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did. 

    The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

    I'll share more projects tomorrow!

  • Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


    I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

    ~~~

    Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

    I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

    I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

    I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

    Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

    Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

    I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

    Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


    Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • Sending Cheer Diamond Flap card – free project sheet & video


    We made this adorable cards at my November card clubs.  They could choose between Christmas & birthday. I love it when products are this versatile!

    The Sending Cheer stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance list now and both are reduced in price!  Originally this bundle was $53 but now it's just $38.40! The stamp set is $14.40 and the dies are $21; they do have to be purchased separately to get the discounted price. 

    I'll start with the Christmas version.  The colors are Poppy Parade, White & Shaded Spruce. Isn't the Santa hat adorable?! 

    This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy.  It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base.  The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here.  I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it. 

    The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted. 

    The inside greeting is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I sure love this fold!

    Here is the birthday version using the same Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper seen here.  It's so versatile! 

    The colors here are Blueberry Bushel, White & Lemon Lime Twist. We fussy cut the gift and added that neat ribbon die-cut over it.
