Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

Thanksgiving Save

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. 

Nov Annette Blackberry Beauty Save

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.  

Nov Annette Blackberry Beauty Save

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.

    Adding a strip of designer paper to the inside of your card is a simple way to embellish it to match.

  • Check out these fabulous Christmas scene cards by the Flowerbug’s!

    I love seeing what my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  Everyone has their own style and I'm proud to share them with you this week. 

    First is a sweet card by Candace who featured the North Pole Mischief stamp set. 

    Oct Candace North Pole Mischief Save

    I love the Red frame she added to the card; it's from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  She used Blends markers to color the images and added Red Rhinestones to set off the scene.  

    Here's the inside view; so cute!

    Next is a fun card made by Annette who featured the Penguin Place stamp set & Penguin Builder punch. These products are returning favorites from last year and many were super happy about it since the punch ran out of stock last year before some could grab it. 

    Oct Annette PenquinPlace Save

    I absolutely love the scene she achieved using the Layering Diorama dies seen here!  She used Starry Sky CS on the back, stamping the stars using White Craft ink.  Then she added a layer of Orchid Oasis behind the penguin that looks like water.  So smart!  

    Oct Annette Penguin Place Save

    Lastly is a pretty card made by Marla.  She used the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch.  

    She stamped the trio of trees across the background and then one large tree in the foreground. It gives such depth to the scene.   

    Oct Marla Peaceful Deer Save

    I also like the way she used the Pearlized Enamel effects basics for her tree ornaments.  The stamped blue snowflakes in the sky finish the scene off perfectly!

    Stay tuned for more amazing swap cards by my Team.

  • Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

    If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

    I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

    Lights Aglow Twisted Ribbon technique Save

    I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

    Tips:

    • You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
    • The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
    • Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

    For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.  

    Twisted double ribbon Save

    My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

    For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

    That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.
