Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

April 12, 2022

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap. I can't wait to share all of the cards with you! Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.

First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth. It is on the retiring list right now; see it here. The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack. What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle. The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set. This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch. The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away! See it here.

Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here.

Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here. After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers! Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?

She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first. Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides. Isn't this amazing!

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's incredible swap cards tomorrow.

Grab this Quick & Easy Christmas fun fold card kit to go; while supplies last!

November 12, 2025

I was torn whether I wanted to do another set of Christmas cards for my November monthly kits. But I had to feature the fun Christmas Tags & More DSP so I went with it.

What do you think?

Save

They’re so bright & colorful in traditional colors of red & green. These cards are all fun fold layouts too but you’ll get the link to my exclusive video with purchase of the kit or tutorial.
I didn’t do any stamping on these cards. I used our Christmas Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera instead. It’s filled with tons of Gold foil pre-cut greetings! *It’s currently unavailable but I ordered before they ran out. (same with the DSP)

This kit includes a half package of the designer paper and ephemera. Plus shares of the ribbon and Peppermint gems too! All with 10 pre-cut cards for just $31. The only thing you have to cut is your new designer paper; but with the tutorial that’s easy. You can see this kit here.

If you’d rather get the PDF tutorial seen here you can choose it for $16 instead. But you won’t get any of the lovely products…..

You can see all of my available kits here. Choose more than one and save money on shipping costs.

I’ll share my second Christmas cards kit with you tomorrow. If you can’t wait, check them out here.

Easel card fold with Modern Christmas with a free project sheet! Mystery boxes are still available!

November 11, 2025

On last week’s video I shared two fun fold cards featuring the Modern Christmas suite. I shared one yesterday and today I’m sharing the Easel fun fold card. I haven’t made one of these for awhile and forgot how quickly they come together.

Save

Black, White & Gold are so classy. I did use one bundle and two sets of dies to create this card.

I used the Traditional Labels bundle seen here for the greeting heat embossed in gold. And the Peace on Earth dies for the center die-cut. Plus the Peaceful Greenery coordinating embossing folder seen here. And lastly the Scenic Adventure dies here for the trees die-cut. Whew!

Save

There’s just something about a mostly white card that makes it elegant.
I did create a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

Below is the video for this card and another fabulous Z-fold card. I hope you watch it and if you’re not already subscribed to my YouTube channel please do!

Modern Christmas Triple-Z card with video & free project sheet

November 10, 2025

First; I’ll let you know I still have several Mystery Boxes left. Don’t miss the opportunity to get over $200 in free products! See the details here.

I shared this super neat card on last week’s video. I love this fold! It looks like work but it’s so easy!

Save

Isn’t it fabulous?! I found several others online and had to try it. I chose to feature the Modern Christmas suite seen here.

The scored lines to create this fold are simply 1″ & 3″ for both the card base and the 3 strips. Watch the video below to see how it’s put together.

The main image of trees is stamped on the die-cut from Branching Out. See these dies here; they coordinate with the stamp set but stand alone too. The greeting is from the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I cut a second die-cut in Gold and split it apart across the middle so it shows.

Here’s how I stamped the back side:

The trees & greetings are from the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the playful style of the stamp set.

Save

The card bekiw is the card I made during the video. I changed it up a bit.

Save

The beautiful gold & black paper (and the above trees DSP) is from the Modern Christmas DSP seen here. It’s so elegant and fits with the star die-cut from the Modern Christmas bundle quite well. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

Save

I created a free project sheet for these cards. Click here to print or download it. I do recommend you create a file for project sheets or card ideas. It’s so handy to access it quickly.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another as well. Both feature this beautiful Modern Christmas suite. I’ll share the other card tomorrow.
