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

Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial

October 12, 2021

I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live. They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

Save

These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video)

Save

On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'. The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat. *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.

Save

One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles. You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge.

Save

I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!
