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.

Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge

Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

May 5, 2025

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video. It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow!

Save

My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White. The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.

I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold. It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines. Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line. Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers. *watch the video here to understand

This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does. Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works.

But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.

Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!

May 2, 2025
With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers. I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done. The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly. It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food.

This event is in Minot, ND at my home studio. If you're local I hope you can stop in and pick up your new catalog!

One of the most popular things I offer with the new Annual Catalog is my In Color bundle. They love getting the new colors in a great sampling of new color products they can enjoy right away.
