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"

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.

  • Pretty Friends for Life card with video tutorial & free project sheet

    Here's the 2nd card I made during last week's video with the Friends for Life bundle.

    My colors include Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and White. I've always loved pink & orange together for some reason. The white circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. They are in low inventory right now.

    Isn't this Full of Life designer paper stunning?!

    The pretty designer paper can be seen here. 

    There are two 'friend' die-cuts. One layers over the other.  I cut the larger layer from the designer paper – it's an ombre effect.

    During the video I shared a second card as well.  I had a great time creating with this bundle. There are so many options between the stamps & dies.  See the Friends for Life bundle here. It was $53 and is now $47.

  • Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper.  Here's the first card:

    I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut. 

    This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here.

    Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card. 

    Friends for Life inside Save

    I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

  • Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!

    I spent a few relaxing minutes putting together these pretty cards last weekend. It's the Hello Hollyhock kit from our Kit Collection.

    They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here.  It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.

    My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp.

    She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!
