Get inspired by these Christmas card swaps by my Flowerbug’s

October 17, 2023

I'm sharing three more of my Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps today! I know you'll be inspired by one or more of them.

First is a beautiful card made by Karen. She chose the Regal Reindeer bundle from the Annual catalog.

She paired it with the pretty O Holy Night designer paper from the Holiday catalog. What a beautiful scene she created!! See the Regal Reindeer stamp set here and the coordinating Reindeer dies here.

Next is an elegant card made by Ginny who featured the Christmas Classic bundle from the Holiday catalog.

She added a 2 3/4" square of the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the upper right and textured the entire White panel with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here. I love these layered die-cuts! See this bundle here. It's one of my favorites in the Holiday cataog.

A few favorite craft storage tips

December 27, 2024

I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products. Some people enjoy organizing more than creating!

First is how I store my stamp sets. In a dresser drawer. I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.

Here's a photo of my craft studio. I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes.

Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps. In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

Save

Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages.

Save

It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it! You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide. Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it. I love the way the doors hinge open. There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need. Click here to see the options.

Save

I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.

Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.

December 24, 2024

Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile. It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy.

Save

I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs. The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch. The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog. It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.

I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined. The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green.

Save

I share how to make it in the video here and seen below. Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front. The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper. I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.

Here's the free project sheet you can print or download. Click on the following link: Download Bright Borders Diagonal fun fold

Below is the video if you'd like to see how to assemble this card. I also share a pretty Sophisticated Sled project too.
