October 31, 2022

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.

Save

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.

So creative and unique!

Beautiful Sunrise Sailing card with multiple techniques and free project sheet

June 30, 2025
Today is the last day of the June Specials:
- BOGO sale on all Suite products seen here
- Free Celebratory Sips tutorial for all online orders (seen below)
Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards. It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

Save

I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here. I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle. They're wonderful and really spark creativity.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once! Watch the video to see how it's done.

Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock. I show how in the video below. I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush.

Save

Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above. This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical.

I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .

3 more pretty fun fold cards for you with measurements; one is a sneak peek of upcoming product!

June 27, 2025
I hope you're enjoying the awesome fun fold cards I've been sharing this week. My Flowerbugs Team swaps were incredible this month! Our theme was to make fun fold cards featuring a new In Color.

First up today is Candy's card which features Secret Sea with Cloud Cover & Vanilla.

Save

She used the Textured Notes bundle seen here. It's one of my favorites! She created her own background using the stamps in the set and Secret Sea ink – stamping off first for some.

Measurements:
- 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Vanilla panels 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- Cloud Cover 1 1/8" X 5 1/4"
- greeting die-cut 2 1/4" X 3/4", layer is 2 3/8" X 7/8"
Save

The textured panel is done with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder seen here.

Next is a lovely card made by Ginny featuring the Beautiful Gallery designer paper seen here. It's part of our Suite BOGO sale too; in fact the entire suite is included!

Save

Her layout shows off the entire scene pictured on the DSP. This fold is perfect for scenic papers!

Measurements:
- Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
- White is 2" X 5 1/4"
  Save
Lastly we have a sneak peek of some upcoming product from Kim. She used a suite featured in a Demo event called Creativity Now this month. She was able to pre-order the Peaceful Garden suite items that will be in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September, 2025.

Save
Her card is a simple Z-fold that really shows off that front White textured panel. And look how the die-cut greeting label fits in that embossing panel! *notice those new flower gems….

She did a neat technique for her greeting panel. She used Secret Sea ink and a Blending Brush over an entire sheet of White card stock. Then she stamped and die-cut the label and the inside sprig from that. Super idea!

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- White front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
