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

Fun Fold card with two versions!

October 6, 2020
Saturday was World Card Making Day! Did you make time to stamp? First; did you even know about it?

We had a few stamping events on my Flowerbug's Team group and Mystery Stamping was one of them. I sent them measurements so they could prep for the card making event but they didn't have a photo of the card! Just measurements and supplies. Use any Designer Paper, etc….. It was fun to see what they all made.

Below are the two fun fold cards I made.

Save

The front of the card is cut short to reveal the Designer paper on the left (inside) of the card. Above I used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & dies bundle. This designer paper is on sale right now at 15% off. See all of the papers on sale here:

Next is a card made with the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp & punch bundle. You can see the measurements for these cards below.

Save

Here are the measurements:
- 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper (3 1/4" x 4" plus a coordinating piece 1 3/4" X 4")
- Coordinating card base (9" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2")
- neutral CS like White or Vanilla (2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and 3 3/4" X 3 1/4" for inside)
- a coordinating layer of CS (2 5/8" X 3 5/8")
