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.

- DSP strip 4 1/4" X 1/2"

Other products used are the Arches dies, the Mini Corrugated embossing folder and a thin strip of Florals in Bloom DSP too.

Technique: I sponged the die-cut flowers with coordinating ink to add depth. Two quick ways to add easy detail and depth to your projects is to use Stampin' Dimensionals and sponging. It's amazing what sponging can add to your projects!

You can see many of the dies in this bundle in the photo below.

A fun layout with the Impressions Abloom bundle; with free project sheet!

May 28, 2025

I shared this striking card on last week's video. It has a color combination I love!

Save

The colors include Summer Splash, Strawberry Slush, White & Darling Duckling. It features the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.

I love the split view of the stamped panel. I did this by stamping first and cutting it into thirds afterwards. It's simply 3 1/2" X 4 1/2", cut into 1 1/2" panels.

The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies. I'll be sharing a another card made with it this week.

Save

This stamp set is both a 2-step set and a distinktive style which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking. I've been loving this bundle! Between the flowers, greetings and dies it's a sure winner!

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another; both using this wonderful bundle. I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
