Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps


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
  • DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip 
  • Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip 
  • inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
  • Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"

  • Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial


    I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today.  We made it at my July card clubs. 

    I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'.  I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.  

    It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have!  *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th. 

    After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little.  It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect. 

    See the flap on the left side of the card above?  That flap holds down the front of the card.  So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025

    And here's the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

  • Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  

    Isn't it pretty?  The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  

    I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here.  It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.  

    This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.  

    The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here.  It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.  

    Here's the free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and supplies.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Prairie Grass JoyFold card

    And here's the video below where I share two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

  • WOW! Check out this Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique


    I was amazed by Candy's card swap this month!  Look at this beauty!!

     

    It's called the Stained Glass technique and she made it for our July Team swap featuring Window Sheets.  

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock with Highland Heather. The bundle is called Beautiful Butterflies and can be seen here. 

    Steps:

    • She stamped the butterfly image on a window sheet using Black Stazon ink. 
    • Turn it over and color with Blends markers. 
    • Add adhesive sheet to the Blends side. Press onto slightly crinkled aluminum foil. 
    • Adhere to a second butterfly stamped on White CS for support and to cover the foil. 
    • Fussy cut; add to card. 

    Other products used here:

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
