Check out these Team Swaps!

The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

~~~

Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

~~~

Next is a pretty card from Kim.

She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

  October 31, 2023

  Happy Halloween!  

  Today is the last day of the October Starter kit special of 35 % off or 35 % more! 

  

  If you have a wish list more than $65 I hope you consider it!  For the next 6 months all of your Stampin' Up! orders will be at a 20% discount!  I'd love to see you save some money and get the starter kit.  

  ~~~

  I shared these neat cards on last week's video.  This layout truly shows off both sides of your double-sided designer paper!

  

  I made the Trick or Treat card before the video and the Winter Wishes card during the video that you can watch here.

  

  Trick or Treat card details:

  • Them bones designer paper seen here
  • Greeting is from Throughout the Year set (2023 Holiday catalog)
  • Greeting die-cuts are from the Nested Essential dies
  • Black & White Gingham ribbon

  Here's the inside view.  I chose the Pick of the Patch stamp set here. I love the look of the designer paper in the inside of the card!

  

  *Download or print the free project sheet here: Download Designer Paper card base; shows both sides!

  Here is the other card I shared:

  

  This card shows off the Magical Meadow bundle in the greeting and pretty die-cuts. 

  Details:

  • Winter Meadow designer paper seen here – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
  • Mossy Meadow, Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock plus Adhesive-backed silver glimmer paper for the pretty foliage die-cut

  Here's the inside view; stamped with the Magical Meadow stamp set. 

  

  The Magical Meadow bundle has been one of my favorites this season.  I seem to reach for it often. See it here. 

  

  Here is the video for these neat cards.  You'll also find another fun fold card and a quick treat bag too!

• Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!

  October 30, 2023

  ---

  If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet. 

  

  It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall.  The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top.  A nice size!

  The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper.  It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.  

  I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.  

  

  Below is a photo of it open.  I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip. 

  

  *Download the free project sheet with template here: Download Easy Treat bag with template

  Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here. 

  The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

  

  I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November. 

  Click here to watch the video you can watch to see this and two fun fold cards as well.
