Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!

I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

Marilyn made this pretty card:

Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.

The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

The dimensions are:
  • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
  • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
  • Banish all score lines toward the center
  • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.

Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  

    Sentimental Park swap Save

    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    SENTIMENTAL PARK BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

  • Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!

    I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper.  That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet! 

    Dainty Flowers . Save

    I made the first cut across at 5 1/2".  Then cut each piece at 3" wide.  This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack.  It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th.  See it here.

    If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker.  Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs.  And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade?  This works on both paper AND ribbon!

    If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?  

    Dainty Flowers heat embossing Save

    I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool.  Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.  

    Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it.  I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine.  It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.  

    **Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it.  The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here. 

    You can see more cards in this video I shared on Tuesday.  Click here or on the photo below:
