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

Beautiful Traditions of Christmas kit to go or tutorial; reserve yours soon

October 9, 2025
One of my October kits to go & tutorials features the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas designer paper. Each card is a fun fold too!

Save

I love the floral and traditional patterns in this pack of specialty paper. It has gold foil accents and a wonderful variety of colors.

You can choose between the pre-cut kit to go or the PDF tutorial. The kit includes almost $20 in Stampin’ Up! products AND the pre-cut cards too. The product includes 1/2 pkg of the DSP, a share of Sparkly Sequins and Olive linen thread.

I include the die-cuts & punched pieces too. Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper share which is 6″ X 12″ – or one half package. You will need your own inks and greeting sentiments plus adhesives of course.

Opt in for the pre-cut kit to go here for $31.

Or the PDF tutorial here. The tutorial and exclusive video will be emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step instructions.

Remember that there are two more kit to go options in October; I’ll share them here in the next few days. Or to see them please go to my shop at www.flowerbugshop.com You’ll save money on shipping when you purchase more than one kit.

I finished the Handmade & Heartfelt kit; it’s so cool!

October 8, 2025
I played with this fun kit yesterday and made 13 cards! This neat card kit is discounted through today only. It would make a fabulous gift or enjoy it for yourself. see it here

Save

It’s a 10 card kit with envelopes, a stamp set, a storage box, ink spot and more. I added a few extra card bases and got an extra 3 cards from it.
Here are my bonus cards:

Save

See the lower right card? I used the template from the lower left card to sponge Secret Sea ink through the holes to create the starburst pattern. When I did this I did it on the back side so I could still use it on the ‘thanks’ card.

Save

Below are a few more cards I changed up from the original plan. It’s so fun to do this. Even though it’s a pre-planned card kit I love adding my own spin on them.

Save

The cards, envelopes, stamp set etc all fit in the organizer box that’s includes. What a great way to store your cards! See this kit here.

Artistic Leaves with Gathering Together with an easy card sketch plan

October 7, 2025
Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. I wanted to feature a card sketch my Flowerbug’s are currently using.

Save

Besides the Artistic Leaves stamp set I also used the Gathering Moments bundle and the Gathering Together specialty designer paper with this sketch:

Save

You might wonder what a sketch is… It’s a layout of boxes or shapes to indicate where you might add layers such as card stock, designer paper, punches or die-cuts.

My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Gold and Vanilla.

Save

Here’s the sketch if you want to save it for an idea. I truly believe card sketches are a fabulous way to get inspiration when creating. Remember that a sketch is just the beginning; you can change it up in any way depending on what products you’re using.

The measurements are also include in the free project sheet I created. Click here to download or print it.

I hope you watch the video below to catch the tips and also to see the other beautiful autumn leaf card.
