Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial

There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

I also shared a video tutorial for this card and one more using this pretty bundle. Click on it below.

• Hey Chuck Fancy Fold cards! Part 3

  August 7, 2023

  ---

  And today I'm sharing the last 2 projects featuring Hey Chuck.  Annette is one of my talented Flowerbug's and she chose this bundle for her Artist of the Month projects.

  This first project features the Masterfully Made designer paper seen here and it's also a fun fold…

  

  I love how she added a torn edge greeting; it fits perfectly with this designer paper that has a torn look to many sheets. 

  So here's a clue to her fun fold design: 

  

  Do you recognize this fold? It's called a Pop & Twist fun fold card.  It's not easy to learn; but super cool to give out!  I do not have a video on this fold but you can do a search on YouTube and find many video tutorials.  

  Here's the open view: 

  

  Isn't it cool? She added some soft blended background colors on each layer which makes a huge difference to the finished look.  Isn't that designer paper perfect with this bundle?  

  If you like a challenge you should enjoy making one of these.  I've made a few and honestly I don't plan to make any more!  Ha! 

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him…..

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Earthen Elegance designer paper.  

  
  She got this fun fold idea from Lisa Curcio.  It has 4 pieces of Misty Moonlight card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8". They're adhered together back to back like this: 

  
  

  There are 8 pieces of designer paper on each card stock side; measuring 2" X 5 3/8".  The pop-up designer paper on the front and back has a window cut out of it to reveal the rooster image inside; using the same die-cut.  She used the Tailored Tags dies.  This DSP measures 4 1/2" wide X 5". Score 1/2" from each side on the 4 1/2" edge. 

  Here's the back side:  

  
  

  There's a folded strip of card stock under the White tag that pops it up when opened. I may share one of these cards on an upcoming video soon; it's quite intriguing!  
  

  I hope you enjoyed seeing all of her projects; she did an incredible job! If you want to see details on each one, click here for part 1 and here for part 2.

• Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

  August 4, 2023

  ---

  Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

  First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

  Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

  Sampler details:

  • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
  • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
  • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
  • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
  • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2" 
    

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him….. 

  
  

  She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

  The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

  Details:

  • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
  • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

  ~~~

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.  

  
  

  She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up: 

  
  

  I'll be sharing how to make one of these cards very soon!  

  
  

  More to come tomorrow!
