Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet

This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.

It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!

I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.

Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.

My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.

I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.

The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

  Continuing on to share another adorable swap card made by Candy. She used the Zoo Crew bundle.  I love her primary, happy colors!

  Details:

  • She used Night of Navy, Real Red & Granny Apple Green
  • the embossing folder is called Merry Melody 3D
  • the stitching on the Red square is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
  • The ribbon is the Navy bordered 3/8" and the greetings are from the Double Oval punch

  Here's the inside:

  

  Here's one I made when I was preparing samples for my new catalog open house event: 

  

  I simply used a few pieces of the Zoo Crew designer paper and added a stamped flag greeting with twine on a long strip of Lost Lagoon.  Cute & Quick!

• Forever Friends kit; a beautiful set of foil accented cards & envelopes

  May 26, 2023

  ---

  Two weeks ago I had time to create at a stamping get together at our church.  I took 3 kits and make them in about an hour and a half.  Stress free and fun!  I love using our kits because I have everything I need to make the cards; I simply need adhesives and a bone folder.!

  Here's the start of my 9 cards.

  

  And here are the finished cards!  I did change up the greetings because I needed a bunch of thank you cards.  I kept the kit mostly as is since they were so pretty as designed.  

  This kit is called Forever Friends and can be seen here.  It's $21 and includes everything you need to create 9 cards with coordinating envelopes like stamps, a block, ink, embellishments & more.  

  

  It's just one of our many kit available in our Kit Collection online.  

  Each kit includes pre-cut pieces and printed images. Some kits include stamps, ink and a block. Others do not and are ready to finish without any stamping.  You can choose what fits your needs.  

  Below is a snapshot of some of the kits in our collection.  They are available from one year; but supplies can run out within that year. But they'll restock them once they do for up to that year.  See them all here. 

  

  Have a wonderful Memorial weekend!

• Beautiful Balloons card swaps

  May 25, 2023

  ---

  This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  

  This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold. 

  

  She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card.  The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.  

  More details:

  • Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel. 
  • The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
  • The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.

  

  Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here.  It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies. 

  

  Next is another simple fun fold made by Lori.  Her colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel & a bit of Berry Burst.  

  

  Measurements:

  • Lemon Lime Twist card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Bright & Beautiful DSP 3" X 5 1/4" 
  • White greeting 2 3/4" X 3/4" 

  Thanks for stopping in to see our projects today!
