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.

Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

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!

Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Save

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

Save

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much! This first one features the True Love designer paper:

Save

It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need. They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

Save

You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here. The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.

There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper. The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years. Click here to get this kit.

Save

**You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

The kit includes the following:
- Box supplies; cut & scored
- 5-6 pre-cut cards
- Tags; punched and ready for stamping
- Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)

I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work. You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.
