Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

December 15, 2023

I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too. See this stamp set here.

I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line.

The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge.

I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer?

Here's the inside view of the upper left card. I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

Save

You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here.

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile! And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp. Try it!

Beautiful Balloons card swaps

May 25, 2023
This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold.

She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card. The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.

More details:
- Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel.
- The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
- The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.

Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here. It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies.

Look at this incredible Lazy Days card swap!

May 23, 2023

I was blown away by the card swap Paula made for our Flowerbug's Team swap in May. Check it out…..

Save
See what I mean? The scene she created is so real & life-like! This card features the new Lazy Days bundle seen here. And she used many of the stamps & dies in the bundle. I counted them – 9 stamps or dies!

Here's a photo of the bundle she used: Lazy Days seen here.

Save

I think her soft colors set the tone for a real porch scene. That rug, lattice, fence and sponged sun – well just everything works! I'm so very proud of her talent. AMAZING!

Her background is white but she lightly blended blue ink for the sky and likely crumb cake for the porch.

Save

What do you think? I think it's incredible well done.
