Here’s a pretty card I shared during last week’s video. It features many new upcoming products!

~~~

The colors include Very Vanilla with Mossy Meadow. Isn’t that designer paper beautiful? It’s called Brushed with Beauty and is one of the new products coming out on November 4th.
I also used a new stamp set called Delicate Framing. The greeting is stamped on a new set of dies called Creative Haven dies and that’s layered on a die from Branching Out.

Here’s how it opens:

I love the leaf die-cuts in the Creative Haven dies! They’re just my style.

Here it is fully opened: The Mossy Meadow layer is scored & folded to add another opportunity for adding our pretty designer papers.

You’ll be able to order these new products on November 4th. However if you wanted them earlier you can add them to your starter kit now. See that opportunity below:

Water-coloring TWO ways with video tutorial!

August 26, 2022
In August our Flowerbug's Team had our usual card swap – this time we featured either Sale-a-Bration or Holiday catalog products. I chose to use both!

I created this card for a few reasons; I wanted to use the Aspen dies (LOVE THEM) and also wanted to create a water-colored background. What do you think?

Save

I chose to use Orchid Oasis as my card base and added Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and a bit of Tahitian Tide in the water-color wash at the bottom.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done. It's super simple and hard to mess up! Honest!

Tips for a successful water color wash:
- Wet the water before adding ink. This is super important! The ink will spread so much easier and without lines if the paper is wet.
- I used our Water Painters – but a paintbrush also works.
- Use a heavy paper such as watercolor paper, Thick White or Vanilla or Shimmer paper. Here I used our Silver & Gold DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It worked but thicker paper is easier and has less chance of the paper fibers lifting.
- Let the paper dry between layers if you want a definite line between colors – like this sunset & water combo.
Other details:
- I stamped the bird in Orchid Oasis and colored him in with our watercolor pencils and a blender pen.
- The greeting is from the Perched in a Tree stamp set – it's in a bundle with the Aspen dies I used here.
- The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.
The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free! See them all here.

Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

August 25, 2022

I can't get enough of the Perched in a Tree bundle! We made these cards at my August Card Clubs this month:

Save

They had the choice of adding the bird or a set of die-cut, colored leaves. We added color to both with our Blending Brushes using Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue for the bird and Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody on the leaves.

The greetings are from the Soft Seedlings stamp set stamped on a 1" X 4 1/4" Vanilla CS strip.

Save

If you have trouble getting a smooth Ink Blending background please watch the video to catch my tips.

From the top down I used these colors: Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody & either Balmy Blue or Crumb Cake on the bottom. You might think I used a yellow color on the upper right card but it's just very light Mango Melody.

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

Bewitching Bundle for my Artist of the Month series

August 23, 2022

I'm excited to share these incredible projects made by Annette. She is our Artist of the Month as part of my Flowerbug's Team. Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle. For creating the projects they get to keep their new bundle as a gift.

She chose to use the Bewitching Bundle from the 2022 Holiday Catalog. See it here.

First up today is an eye catching card featuring the Gingham Cottage designer paper.

Save

She used Pumpkin Pie blends markers to color her hat and added a stamped spider and Black hat band. The stitched circle die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. Offsetting them adds a playful look to the card.

Next is a super cute coordinating candy treat box:

Save

She found the box pattern from Cathryn Themann. It's about 5" X 3" in size and fits a row of Tootsie Rolls nicely.

Save

She used the same Cottage Gingham designer paper as she did on the card above. Notice that cute Black & Pumpkin gingham ribbon? She colored it with a Pumpkin Pie blends marker! Perfect!

The circle and banner die-cuts are from the Stylish Frames dies seen here. They're my 'go to' set of dies lately!

Save

She added the perfect finish to her hat band; the Black & Pumpkin glitter washi tape.

Save

Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle tomorrow!
