The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet

November 30, 2023

There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog! It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

Save

I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is. The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home.

Save

The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon.

I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

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.

Save

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.

Save

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

Save

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.

Save

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:

Save

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"
Save

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

Save

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

Save

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.

Save

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!
