Check out these fabulous Christmas scene cards by the Flowerbug’s!

I love seeing what my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  Everyone has their own style and I'm proud to share them with you this week. 

First is a sweet card by Candace who featured the North Pole Mischief stamp set. 

Save

I love the Red frame she added to the card; it's from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  She used Blends markers to color the images and added Red Rhinestones to set off the scene.  

Here's the inside view; so cute!

Next is a fun card made by Annette who featured the Penguin Place stamp set & Penguin Builder punch. These products are returning favorites from last year and many were super happy about it since the punch ran out of stock last year before some could grab it. 

Save

I absolutely love the scene she achieved using the Layering Diorama dies seen here!  She used Starry Sky CS on the back, stamping the stars using White Craft ink.  Then she added a layer of Orchid Oasis behind the penguin that looks like water.  So smart!  

Save

Lastly is a pretty card made by Marla.  She used the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch.  

She stamped the trio of trees across the background and then one large tree in the foreground. It gives such depth to the scene.   

Save

I also like the way she used the Pearlized Enamel effects basics for her tree ornaments.  The stamped blue snowflakes in the sky finish the scene off perfectly!

Stay tuned for more amazing swap cards by my Team.

• Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

  April 11, 2022

  ---

  I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live.  I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

  Save

  It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!  The photo below does NOT do it justice!  

  Save

  The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper.  I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper.  I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.  

  Isn't this a neat fun fold?  And it's so easy too.  Watch the video below or click here.  It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper. 

  Save

  I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here.  Love these dies!

• Crane of Fortune Split Diagonal card with video; a great way to show off your Designer Paper

  April 8, 2022

  ---

  I love this card layout!  It is an easy way to show off a peak of your pretty designer paper!  I'm calling it a Diagonal Split card.  

  Save

  I created this during a Facebook Live on Tuesday.  Every week at 11 am CT I share a few projects to inspire YOU to stamp.  Follow me here on Facebook.  Click here to watch the video; there are three projects! 

  The card base is Gray Granite with white & gold accents.  I used the Crane of Fortune bundle seen here.  This bundle is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog; it will retire at the end of June.  

  Here are the measurements so you can try your hand at this card layout.

  I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

  Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

  Here are the simple measurements: 

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side 
  • DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
  • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper?  I love it!  Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too! 

  Save

  See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.  

  Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

  My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS.
