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. 

Oct Candace North Pole Mischief 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. 

Oct Annette PenquinPlace 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!

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.

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.

  • Look at this Amazing Gift!

    I received quite a wonderful surprise in the mail last week from Jakelle; a demonstrator in eastern North Dakota.  Look at what she made me!  

    Easel Jakelle Save

    It's a 5 X 7" board on an easel and her craftmanship is incredible! She used sooo many different dies & products to complete it. 

    • Tasteful Labels, Playful Alphabet & So Much Happy dies
    • Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
    • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
    • Nothing's Better Than stamp set

    Easel Jakelle Save

    She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.  

    Celebrate Sunflowers Jakelle Save

    Isn't it beautiful?  She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP.  If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.  

    I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person.  I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job!  I'm loving it.  And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

  • Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

    Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.  

    August club Life is Beautiful Save

    The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red.  See the tiny 'apples' on the tree?  Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image.  I dare you to try it!  Watch the video below to see what I did! 

    That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here.  There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set!

    I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set!  It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!

  • Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!

    There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image. 

    Wink of Stella & White craft ink Save

    I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.   

    I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below. 

    Sept 1 Wink of Stella Save

    Technique tips:

    • Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
    • Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting. 
    • Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'. 
    • Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
    • This should work nicely on a heat embossed image! 
    • You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way! 

    Sept 1 Wink of Stella Save

    I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough.  This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.  

    Here's the video with 3 different coloring techniques!
