  • Queen Anne’s Lace cards


    I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple.  I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

    There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more!  Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon.  But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

    This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Read about that here!  It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product!  Pay just $99 and get $200!  And FREE Shipping too!  

    I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left.  That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together!  Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all. 

    Measurements:

    • Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
    • Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
    • Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3" 

    I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found.  It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy! 

    Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week.  Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors!  Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.

  • Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!


    Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

    I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

    To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

    Other details:

    • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
    • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
    • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

    I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!

  • Wow! Check out the Magic in This Night Samplers! Remember Punch Art Wednesday?


    If you've followed me for awhile you may remember I used to do a Punch Art Wednesday post almost every week!  I loved creating things with punches.  But I've gotten away from that since my business has grown. But I think you'll find some great punch art in these projects!

    My Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Halloween sampler swap for a home decor piece.  We chose to use the Magic in This Night designer paper as our theme & colors.  I had enough pieces to create 2 of them. Look at these!  

    Isn't it incredible?  Each so unique and all together create a fabulous home decor piece! 

    These 3" squares are adhered to a full 12" sheet of the Magic in This Night designer paper. I'll try to give some details on these squares. 

    I created the banners from the Word Wishes dies in White card stock.  I sponged the upper and lower areas with Pretty Peacock & Cajun Craze inks.  I stamped spider webs from the Banner Year stamp set on the White strip. 

    A mummy made from sponged White CS strips, a sponged night sky & masked moon with fussy cut bats from the Designer Paper and a punched cat on a Metallic Mesh ribbon background.

    An owl from the Have a Hoot bundle, a punched pumpkin with the Playful Alphabet BOO and another owl on a Cobweb textured background with Black Glimmer branches.

    Below is an entirely different sampler!   

    These sampler squares are adhered to a 12 X 12" sheet of Pretty Peacock card stock. 

    From left to right; the first one is made with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, second is from the Banner Year and far right are bats fussy cut from the Designer Paper. 

    Left is a tag made with the Banner Year stamp set, the cat is on a die-cut from the Sweet Silhouettes dies & a textured brick 'wall' and last on the right is a punched ghost made with the Tulip punch!  The eyes are from the 0's in the Playful Alphabet dies and the greeting from Hallows Night Magic set.

    I LOVE seeing what my talented Team members create for our swaps.  If you'd like to join my Team we'd love to have you; whether you like to swap or not!  Click here to purchase the starter kit!  The Get & Go Promotion is a fabulous deal and it ends in just 6 days!!  Read about it here.
