• Sending Cheer Diamond Flap card – free project sheet & video

  November 24, 2023

  ---

  We made this adorable cards at my November card clubs.  They could choose between Christmas & birthday. I love it when products are this versatile!

  

  The Sending Cheer stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance list now and both are reduced in price!  Originally this bundle was $53 but now it's just $38.40! The stamp set is $14.40 and the dies are $21; they do have to be purchased separately to get the discounted price. 

  

  I'll start with the Christmas version.  The colors are Poppy Parade, White & Shaded Spruce. Isn't the Santa hat adorable?! 

  

  This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy.  It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base.  The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here.  I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it. 

  The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted. 

  

  The inside greeting is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I sure love this fold!

  Here is the birthday version using the same Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper seen here.  It's so versatile! 

  

  The colors here are Blueberry Bushel, White & Lemon Lime Twist. We fussy cut the gift and added that neat ribbon die-cut over it.  

  Products used:

  • Basics 3D (dots – Online Exclusive) & Merry Melody embossing folders
  • Tailored Tags dies
  • Adhesive-Backed Iridescent discs
  • In Color Baker's Twine
  • stamps – Enjoy the Rhythm

• Pretty Funfold card swaps by my talented Team!

  November 23, 2023

  ---

  Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! 

  

  Today I'm sharing the last batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme was to feature glitz, shine or glimmer.  They truly did their best to show off our beautiful specialty papers!

  Jacki made this card using the Night Divine dies seen here.  *Unfortunately it's retiring and available while supplies last. 

  

  What a gorgeous card and the nativity die-cut is beautiful with the stars DSP background.  It's actually an easy fun fold too.  Unfortunately this pretty Shining Brightly designer paper is gone and out of stock. There are more products unavailable each day! The Last Chance list is brutal! *see all items retiring here. 

  

  Her colors are simple but stunning – Night of Navy, Vanilla and Gold. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 2 3/4" X 3" and 1" X 5 1/4"
  • Gold Foil 3" X 3 1/4" and 1 1/8" X 5 3/8"
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4", plus die-cuts

  

  Next is a uniquely special New Year's card made by Paula. 

  

  Her colors include Gray Granite, Silver & White. Like I said, it's uniquely beautiful and an easy fun fold too. 

  Measurements & products used:

  • Gray Granite card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3" & 7 1/4"
  • Silver glimmer paper 2 3/4" X 5 1/4" & 1" X 5 1/4" (sold out now)
  • Naturally Gilded DSP (online exclusive) 2 1/2" X 5" &  3/4" X 5"
  • leaf die-cut – Artistic dies from Annual catalog
  • Greeting die-cuts Nested Essentials (Annual catalog)

  She used the Artistic dies to sponge a little detail inside her card.  Love it!

• STUNNING Christmas card swaps full of glitz & shine!

  November 22, 2023

  ---

  This is the third batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our November Glitz, Shine & Glimmer swap. 

  First is a gorgeous card made by Roxann.  She thought of doing just an ornament but added it to a card front instead.  

  

  Measurements:

  • Navy card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
  • Shining Brightly specialty designer paper 4" X 5 1/4" (2023 Holiday catalog)

  • Greeting – Night Divine stamp set (2023 Holiday catalog)
  • Ribbon is the Navy & Gold ribbon (2023 Holiday catalog)

  

  The Stars at Night & Night Divine bundles are both on the Last Chance list & available while supplies last. It looks like the Shining Brightly paper is sold out….. 

  ~~~

  Next is an amazing 'Swing & Swap' card by Sharon. I might accuse her of being an overachiever with this card as it's over the top amazing!

  

  It's hard to tell in the photo that the stars element swings back & forth.  It's so fun to play with!
