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.

Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!

October 24, 2023

I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit. It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards.

Save

I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon. It's gorgeous! The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside.

Save

I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings.

The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit.

For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies.

We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings. The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit.

Save

See this kit here online. Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long. You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas.

The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well! It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes.

Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

October 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here.

When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

Save

It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have. I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.

My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.

It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch. Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom. You can see how this is done in the video below.

Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps. This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper. This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.
