Bewitching Bundle for my Artist of the Month series


I'm excited to share these incredible projects made by Annette. She is our Artist of the Month as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  For creating the projects they get to keep their new bundle as a gift.  

She chose to use the Bewitching Bundle from the 2022 Holiday Catalog.  See it here. 

First up today is an eye catching card featuring the Gingham Cottage designer paper. 

She used Pumpkin Pie blends markers to color her hat and added a stamped spider and Black hat band.  The stitched circle die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies.  Offsetting them adds a playful look to the card.

Next is a super cute coordinating candy treat box: 

She found the box pattern from Cathryn Themann.  It's about 5" X 3" in size and fits a row of Tootsie Rolls nicely.  



She used the same Cottage Gingham designer paper as she did on the card above. Notice that cute Black & Pumpkin gingham ribbon?  She colored it with a Pumpkin Pie blends marker!  Perfect!  

The circle and banner die-cuts are from the Stylish Frames dies seen here.  They're my 'go to' set of dies lately! 



She added the perfect finish to her hat band; the Black & Pumpkin glitter washi tape.  

Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle tomorrow!

  • Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet


    On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper. 

    I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart.  Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat! 

    **This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow. 

    The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

    Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia. 

    Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base.  The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

    Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

    The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project.  I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

    I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

    If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here.  I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

    Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here. 

    Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I'll share the second card Wednesday.

    Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

    Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White. 

    ~~~

    Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here. 

    Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

    Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Fun Summery card swaps by my Team


    This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

    Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

    See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

    Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

    Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

    Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

    I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

    Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.
