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.

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

Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

October 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here.

When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

Save

It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have. I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.

My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.

It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch. Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom. You can see how this is done in the video below.

Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps. This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper. This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.

Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

October 19, 2023
Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps. These two cards are not your average Christmas cards!

First is a pretty card made by Marla. She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works!

Save

She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog.

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
- DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
- White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

Save

Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men? Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half. She added so much detail on them too!
- The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
- The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
- Ears are from the monkey punch.
She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies. A great idea!

Save

The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive).

Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards. Details on each if you go back each day this week.
