Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!


Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August.  I hope you get some inspiration from them.  

First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog.  Or click here.  

Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce.  She colored the images in with Blends markers.  I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!  

The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.  It is currently out of stock but will return in September.

Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.  

She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.  

We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen.  She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August.  Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!  

We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun! 

It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card! 

I'll list them here:

  • Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
  • Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
  • The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

  • Cute Hat treat box with template for winter, Christmas or baby!


    Before I share an adorable box I want to give you a heads up on an upcoming Seasonal Sale Stampin' Up! is having.

    Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live.  It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!

    The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set.  To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here.  They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width. 

    Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together. 

    These would be so fun to give treats in; who wouldn't be excited to receive this?!

    Click on the video below to see how this is done; and the box template is shared there as well!

  • Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!


    I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

    The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!  

    I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices! 

    Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here. 

    I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!  

    This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

    What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!  

    The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

  • A unique but easy fun fold card; join me Live tonight!


    I do a Live video the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings focusing on using Designer Paper.  Many of us hoard it so I'm hoping to inspire you to use it!

    We're making these neat fun fold cards on FB live at 7:30 pm CT tonight. Go here to join me.

    Or see it here afterwards. 

    The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up.  It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front. 

    I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  See it here or on page 133. 

    Other products include:

    • Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
    • Stitched so Sweetly dies
    • Star-crossed embossing folder
    • Holiday rhinestones

    Measurements

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line. 
    • Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
    • DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" also)
    • White inside layer 3 1/2" square
