My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.  

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here. 

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

  1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
  2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
  3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
  4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
  5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
  6. Repeat!   

The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here.  It's free with Hostess Rewards.  How do you get host rewards?  If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!

  • This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!


    This easy fun fold is so smart!  It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.  

    How?  Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".  Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark.  This piece is then flipped and is the front panel.  So smart! 

    The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes! 

    The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout.  This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have!  You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

    The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one.  And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP. 

    I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.   

    I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting.  The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here. 

    Here's the link to see my recent video featuring this card.  I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

  • Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial


    We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club.  It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.  

    I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry.  This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!  

    Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center.  Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other. 

    It's fun to play with too.  We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base.  Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side. 

     

    See the stamp set here and the Brewed dies here. 

    The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry.  Measurements and video can be seen below.

    Measurements:
    • Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
    • Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
    • Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square
    • White inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for beer & foam

    Click here or on the photo below to see this card made in my video.  It's one of three I share.

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2


    Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

    Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.  

    She also made these two adorable candy boxes.  

    The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.  

    This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

    I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine. 

    And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

    She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

    She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.  

    It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.  

    You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.  

    Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:
