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

Unique fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too

September 2, 2024

I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video. It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog. This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th.

Save

My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White.

It looks like a normal card front doesn't it? It's not! The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer.

Save

Isn't that neat? And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.

Here's the view of the inside once opened. That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps. It's easy; watch the video!

**I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me. If not find me here.

I created a free project sheet for you; click on the following link to download or print it. Download Regal Flora Diagonal Latch card

Below is the video for this card and another neat idea with the Full of Life DSP. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there. I post a new video each week!

Incredible Seagull fun fold card with measurements!

August 30, 2024
Lori made this adorable card for our August card swap.

Save

It looks like a normal card front doesn't it. But wait! It opens up like this:

Save

Isn't that neat? The side flaps sneak under the front panel.

She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card. It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow! See all of the papers on sale here.

She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center.

Save

She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite.

Measurements:
- Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other.
- 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together.
- White – 4" square for back of card
- DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels
Thank you for the measurements Lori! Here's an view of this neat card from above.

I hope to make one of these cards on a video soon.
