Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

November 25, 2021

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper. Gorgeous just fits.

Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members.

First is Annette's pretty card. I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card. You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper! See it here.

Save

She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting. I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too.

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.

Save

She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card.

I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper. Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge

How cute is this!? Her colors include Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Black & White. The die-cuts are from the wonderful & popular Nested Essentials dies seen here.

Save

And lastly a scene directly from the farm! Deloris used to have milk cows on her farm so she knows cows!

Thank you Deloris for sharing your incredible projects with us!

Amazing Artist of the Month projects with the Cutest Cow bundle!

March 28, 2024
Deloris chose to feature the Cutest Cow bundle for her Artist of the Month projects. She did an incredible job showcasing this cute bundle!

First is an adorable 'barn' card. Who wouldn't love to receive this fun card?

Save

Isn't that the best way to feature these cows!? She cased Queen Bee Creations for this idea. I love the rooster in the window!

Measurements:
- Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". Make a mark 1" inside the fold and 1" above & below the fold line on the edge. Score.
- White inside 4" X 5 1/4" – trim off upper corners to fit the fold
- White strips to form the barn roof are 3/8" and the door are 1/4".
- Old Olive grass she cut into a wave shape and used her scissors to create grass
Here's the inside view:

Save

Next is a sunrise 'Rocker' card using Old Olive & Daffodil Delight.

Save

The Deckled Circles are a must for these cards! See them here in our Online Store.

Here are her fun 3d projects:

Save

For the cow tail candy wrap she used our Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP cut with a Deckled circle die. She simply added a few score lines to the middle so it would stand up.

The Udder Stick (chapstick) holder was cased from Cards by TLC and features Berry Burst Glorious Gingham DSP.

I'll share more of her cute projects tomorrow!

Latte Love Book Binding Z-fold with free project sheet

March 27, 2024

I am in love with this fun fold! I call it a 'Book-binding' Z fold card.

This one is made with the A Little Latte designer paper seen here. It's part of our huge bunch of Online Exclusive products.

Save

The card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4" with two score lines (see the measurements in the free project sheet below). Then you add a second layer to the front flap to create this unique but easy fold.

I'm surprised this trendy designer paper hasn't sold out yet!

Save

Below you can see both versions of this card we made at my March card clubs.

Save

The coffee cups were fussy cut from the designer paper. The stamps on the left are from the Latte Love bundle seen here. The tag on front is from the Tailored Tags dies seen here. I use these all of the time!

Save

I created a free project sheet you can download or print. These project sheets are so handy to have in an idea binder or folder. Download March 24 Club A Little Latte book binding
