• Blog issues; so sorry!

  October 31, 2022

  I'm sorry to say that my blog host, Typepad, has been having issues in the last week.  So you may or may not be able to view or receive my blog posts.  They haven't said how long the issues may last. 

  I will communicate as much as I can.  Sometimes the site is down fully and I have no way to post anything! Photos seem to be the biggest problem.  

  Be sure to check my Facebook page or my Instagram for recent posts.

• Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!

  October 31, 2022

  ---

  I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

  These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

  Marilyn made this pretty card:

  

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

  Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

  Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

  

  Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.  

  

  The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

  The dimensions are:

  • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
  • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
  • Banish all score lines toward the center
  • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

  It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

  

  Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

  The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest. 

  

  So creative and unique!  

  Here is a photo of all of the incredible swap cards by my Team in October. I hope you've enjoyed this weeks posts featuring their cards.

• Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

  October 28, 2022

  ---

  This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

  Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

  

  Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

  Details:

  • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
  • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
  • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

  

  Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle. 

  

  A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

  The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

  She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

  Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.  

  

  Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow.  She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.  

  Here's her inside view: 

  

  Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.
