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.

Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge

Snowflake Vellum fun fold card with video

December 22, 2022
We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs. I thought snowflakes would be perfect for many occasions coming up.

Save

I used the Snowflake 12" specialty vellum that 'was' in our Holiday catalog. They ran out of stock in early December. And the Wonderful Snowflakes (large white snowflake) was discounted on the Last Chance list but they've run out now too! This time of year is so difficult to plan for.

But they loved the card and thought the fold was fun too.

I shared how to make it on my FB Live yesterday. Click here to watch.

Save
Details:
- The back of the card is simply a quarter sheet of Starry Sky card stock – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".
- The fold is 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
- The large piece of vellum and the white inside are 3" X 4". The side pieces of vellum are about 1 1/2" X 4".
- I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set (retiring) & dies for the inside of the left card. The Frosted Flurry dies are now out of stock. The birthday greeting on the right is from the Celebrating You stamp set (annual catalog)
- The Starry Sky stitched circle is 3" around; a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. They are also out of stock right now! Sheesh! I picked popular items for this card, didn't I?

Splendid Day projects; deeply discounted and while supplies last

December 21, 2022

The Splendid Day suite is on the retiring list and most of these items are discounted on the Last Chance list; while supplies last.

Save

I thought I'd highlight a few of my past projects featuring them.

The bundle is retiring in about 2 weeks; it's while supplies last. The Splendid Stems dies seen here are currently marked down to $13.60 from $34. The Open Leaf trinkets are marked down from $8 to $3.20. See them here. I can't believe they're still available at these prices!

Save

This gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer paper seen here is now just $6, marked down from $15. The Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon is super thin and soft. It's super easy to work with. It's also on sale, while supplies last, for just $3.20. See it here.

Save

The Splendid Thoughts stamp set has some beautiful greetings in it; I love the fonts!

Save

The colors in this designer paper are so soft & pretty; they include Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Sahara Sand and Copper.

Below is a video I shared featuring these products:

Cottage Wreaths gift treat bag with video; easy and uses your DSP too!

December 20, 2022

I shared this cute project on a FB Live video a few weeks ago. It features the Country Wreaths bundle and the Santa Express designer paper.  Here's the link to the video.

Save

The Cottage Wreaths bundle is carrying over into January. See it here.

Look at the wreaths above; they're each unique, showing how much variety there is in the stamp set & dies.

The left is mostly die-cuts with an additional bow & berries added. The right has the stamped wreath over the die-cut green wreath. The bow is die-cut from Red glimmer paper. So many options!

Save

I started with a piece of DSP at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Score at 1 1/4" with the short edge at the top. Then with the long edge at the top score at 2", 4", 6" & 8" up to that first score line. Tip: You're only scoring the bottom of this bag.

Crease on the score lines and glue together. *watch the video to see how.
