• More Magical Meadow fun fold cards by Judith

  November 29, 2023

  ---

  Yesterday I shared the cards Judith made as our Team Artist of the Month and today I'm sharing more. She did a wonderful job highlighting the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. 

  All of her cards have been fun folds; she does like to make fancy fold cards. 

  

  This card features a center greeting layer that enfolds both front layers of her gatefold card.  She left it removeable so the recipient can add it or leave it off.  You can adhere it if you'd like; I usually add it to the left side.  

  The gorgeous leaves & berries image was done with markers; it coordinates with the Magical Meadow dies perfectly! She used the Deckled Circle dies seen here. 

  Below is the inside view with the center layer separate. 

  

  Next is another fun fold card I call a double-flap card. She used the same sheet of Winter Meadow as the card above. 

  

  She scored the right side of her double layered circles and adhered the scored flap under the inside layers. Clever!  

  The greeting layers are from the Autumn Leaves dies and of course she used the beautiful White & Silver mesh ribbon – all from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

  

  Thank you for sharing these beautiful projects with us Judith!

• Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

  November 28, 2023

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

  First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies: 

  

  Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

  Measurements:

  • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

  

  The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last. 

  

  This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

  

  Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

  Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did. 

  

  The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

  I'll share more projects tomorrow!

• Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

  November 27, 2023

  ---

  I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

  ~~~

  Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

  I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

  I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

  

  I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

  

  I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

  Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

  

  Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

  

  I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

  Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?

  
  

  Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!
