• A cute box with free template and video tutorial too!

  March 30, 2022

  ---

  Marilyn shared this sweet treat box at our last Flowerbug's Team Meeting.  She cased it from Pootles.  It looks almost like a mini milk carton.  

  

  Her box is 2 X 2" and 3 1/4" tall.  She used the Pansy Petals designer paper, Soft Succulent card stock and ink.  This pretty DSP is retiring now; get it here while supplies last. 

  I made one for a recent FB Live video too.  I chose to use the Flowering Fields DSP; it's so springy!

  
  

  They're made in Pear Pizzazz and Fresh Freesia card stock and the greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set seen here.  The greeting tag is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies which are retiring now and available while supplies last!  See the dies here.

  She made up a template and another sheet of card stock showing you how it looks after trimming and cutting the template as shown. Watch the video here or below to see how it's made.  

  

  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is similar to a 2 4 6 8 box.  Score on the short side at 1 1/2", 3 1/2" & 4 1/2".  Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", & 8".  Then cut away the areas crossed off and cut up to the score lines as shown. 

  You'll need 4 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 1 3/4" square.  And 4 pieces measuring 1 3/4" X 3/4" for the top.  She punched two holes in the top flaps to thread ribbon through to tie in a bow.  

  

  Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful project Marilyn!  

  Here's the video; click on the photo below to watch it.

  The new 2022-23 Annual Catalogs are going live in early May.  I'm ordering some to be mailed out on March 31st.  They are free to those who have purchased from me in the last 6 months.  Let me know if you'd like one by tomorrow, March 30th.  

  If you haven't ordered from me before or lately, you can do so here.  Or send me $5 and I'll mail you one. Contact me here with questions.   

  

  The new 2022-2024 In colors are gorgeous; bright, bold and fabulous.  Here's a pretty graphic for you. 

  

  I always offer a big bundle of In Color products with the start of the new Annual Catalog.  I'll share the details of it in April.  It's so nice to get a bit of a nice variety and know that you have the card stock, ink and refills along with accessories to match!  I always include free product with purchase of my bundles.

  I'll also be offering a Designer Paper Share too.  Stay tuned!

• Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

  March 29, 2022

  ---

  Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

  The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

  She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

  Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

  

  The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

  The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

  

  Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

  

  She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

  She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

  The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

  Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

  

  The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

  Her measurements are:

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
  • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 
    

  Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

  

  She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

  Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.
