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

Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet

January 27, 2025

I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week. If you missed it click here to see it. Or slide down a bit.

Save

I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper. The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.

If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct. I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood. It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.

Save

I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card). Which do you prefer?

Save

The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here. It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.

Save

I created a free project sheet for this card. I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas. *Click on the following link to download or print it. Download With you in Mind Curtain fold

The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set.

Below is the video for this card and another double diagonal fold. I hope you watch it to see the tips on assembly. And subscribe to my YouTube Channel too!
