Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!

October 25, 2021

We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured.

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.

Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

March 15, 2023
We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs. It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here.

Save

I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?

Save

In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats. It makes a world of difference! *Catch the tips in the video below.

Save

*Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

Measurements:
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
- Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
- White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
- DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”
I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings. It has some fabulous images; see it here.

Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!

March 13, 2023

Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects. In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle. She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

Take a look at these incredible samples:

Save

Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike? She used the 'seat' dies to create it. She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'! Ha!

The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP. Look at the detail on her motorcycle! The dies are incredibly detailed.

This next card is a center step card. It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.

Save

She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up! You can see it here online.

Save

This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here. Perfect texture for this guy card.

Save

She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects. I LOVE the shiny black foil accents. See it here.

Save

Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.

Save

And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike. See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners? They pair wonderful with this suite. See them here.

Save

Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Jane! Your creativity & talent is amazing!
