  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!
