I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals – trees & leaves. This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems. I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.

Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too. I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs.

Save

This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial. It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

There is a limited quantity of these available. Order by November 16th. It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail.

*Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class! *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!

This kit to go includes the following:

10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs. Most are unique folds
1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
a share of Garden gems
3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon

You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package!

**This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive. That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow. Get both November kits here.

Control Freaks Blog Hop; ‘Can’t Live Without’ theme

April 19, 2022
This month the Control Freaks are sharing their favorite retiring products in a 'Can't Live Without' theme. There are so many wonderful items on the Last Chance list this year! Be sure to really look at it so you have no regrets when they're no longer available.

Save

If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all. Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog. I love her style!

I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!

This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White. I love a black & white card with a pop of color.

Save

The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May.

I used the 'Floating' technique here. I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies. Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder.

Products retiring:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- All Together 6 X 6" DSP
I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts! They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Save

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold. The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.

I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.

Save

Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog.

I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring. It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale!

Retiring items:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- Flowering Fields DSP
- Tailored Tag punch

A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.

I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.

Save

The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.

I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!

Save

The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.

You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

Blending Brush border idea with Artfully Layered; so pretty!

April 18, 2022
I created these pretty cards on last week's FB Live video. I LOVE the colors and style; they're so my style!

Save

I chose to play with the Artfully Layered bundle seen here in colors of Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. Having a lot of 'white space' makes the textures & pretty leaves the clear star of the card.

Save

I used a blending brush to blend the two inks on a piece of White card stock and then cut the leaf die-cut from that.

For the multi-colored border underneath I used the blending brush to add the same colors. I love the effect!

Save

The cross-hatch texture is made with the dies in the bundle. There are two of them in the set that give textures.

Save

I also used the Faux Sea Glass shapes for accents.

Save

The measurements are in the post below but here they are again:
- White card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 4 ¾”, sponged layer 3 ¾” X 5”
Save

Click on the photo below to watch the video; it's the first project of three. And be sure to follow me on Facebook here.
