Get 2 cards at a time with this special card layout & a 6 X 6″ piece of designer paper!


I shared this card on last week's Live video.  It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.

I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap.  You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper.  Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!

Other products used:

Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.

Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.  

 

My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too.  She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

Below are a few cutting templates for you.  

 

 

Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

Directions:

  • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
  • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
  • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
  • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces. 

 

 

 

See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

 

  • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
  • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
  • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

  • Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts


    Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

    I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

    And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)? 

    Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

  • Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!


    This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away!  Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards. 

    I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of. 

    This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration. 

    I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

    I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

  • Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video


    This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards.  I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video) 

    If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot 

    The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

    The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art.  If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique.  I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.


    The Heart Doilies make it super simple.  I used these products on this card:

    The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set.  I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting.  That makes it very versatile to me.
