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.

Impressions Abloom In Color card with free project sheet & video

May 26, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. We made it at my card clubs in May.

Save

It features two of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling. The card base is Summer Splash. I think these colors are fabulous together.

The Strawberry Slush layer was embossed with the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder. It's part of this suite and can be seen here.

Save

I popped up the stamped oval and adhered the stitched frame flat. I added our new 2025-27 In Color flat pearls. They're awesome and can be found here. They come in the previous In Colors as well.

The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies. I'll be sharing a few cards made with it this week to convince you how great it is.

Save

This stamp set is both a 2-step set and distinktive which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.

Look at the Summer Splash flowers on each card. They're different. The card on the left was done by not matching up the flower images. It gives the look of a fuller flower compared to the card on the right. Lots of options!

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

Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

May 23, 2025

I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK.

Save

She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder. What a fun card! The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below.

This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

Save

This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip. The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.

Save

The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes! At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.
