Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:

• The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
• notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
• And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
• The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!

• Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!

  September 13, 2022

  ---

  I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

  First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.  

  

  Details:

  • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
  • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
  • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

  Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White. 

  

  Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.  

  ~~~

  And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red. 

  

  Details:

  • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
  • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
  • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.  
  • I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

  Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!

• Bewitching Teepee Fun Fold card!

  September 12, 2022

  ---

  I've shared lots of amazing projects Annette made with the Bewitching bundle here . She was our Artist of the Month in August as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She used the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

  Today is a fun fold card called a Teepee card.  It looks difficult to make but it's sure not!  In fact her card inspired me to make one myself.  You can see the video here.  

  She used the Tea Boutique designer paper and the Stylish Shapes & Layering Circles dies for the circles.

  

  Creating this unique fun fold card starts with three squares measuring 4".  You'll score each one in half on the diagonal.  The designer paper is two 3 3/4" squares that you cut in half diagonally.  Watch the video here or scroll down below to see how it's done.  

   

  

  This card is held closed with a small bit of Velcro.  The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 size envelope. 

  

  The inside is made of one 3 3/4" white square also cut in half on the diagonal.  

  

  Love these boots!  This and the hats are all from the Bewitching stamp set.  Get the stamp set & Witch punch in a bundle at 10% off here.
