Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps


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. 

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.  

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
  • DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip 
  • Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip 
  • inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
  • Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"

  • Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet


    I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

    The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

    I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

    The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

    I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.

  • Quick Christmas cards in a kit or PDF tutorial


    I created these eye catching cards as one of my October kits to go. They’re so fun and easy to make because this is a non-stamping kit!

    They use a few of the new products in our 2026 Holiday catalog by Stampin’ Up!

    This kit includes shares of the Season of Celebration ephemera pack, the Creative Celebrations 6 X 6″ DSP, Red & White Baker’s Twine and a Festive Flecks cards & envelopes pack. You’ll also receive the PDF tutorial too! There is $20 in product in this kit!

    This kit is $32 plus shipping. See it here. Or choose the PDF tutorial for $17; see that here. This tutorial is sent to you immediately after payment.

    This kit will be mailed out at the end of October in plenty of time to create for Christmas. I will be offering one more new Christmas cards kit next week; so stay tuned.
