Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!


I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members. 

See what I mean?  It's striking & stunning!  She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.  

The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8".  The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller.  We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece. 

Scroll down to see the video I made or click here. 

The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.  

Here is what the inside looks like.  We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

Here are three of the cards all together.  See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily?  Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well. 

Below is the quick video; click on the photo to watch it.

  • More fun fold cards!


    Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  They are amazing! 

    First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

    This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold.  Here's a video I made for it: 

    The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste!  And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

    Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock.  Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4".  Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

    Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half.  Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

    Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle.  I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!

    Marilyn made this beautiful card with the Ornate Garden suite of products seen here; an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalog.  

    • The Olive card base is 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
    • The Terracotta Tile layer is 4" X 3"
    • Designer paper is 3 7/8" X 2 7/8"
    • The Olive stitched rectangle is 3 1/2" X 2 1/4" 
    • The Terracotta Tile die-cut is from the Ornate Frames dies
    • The White daisy layer is 1 1/8" X 2 1/2", the White inside is 4" X 5 1/5"
    • Stamps are from the Ornate Style & Ornate Thanks stamp sets 

    Paula made this striking fun fold card using the Peaceful Poppies designer paper and the Painted Poppies bundle.

    This Peaceful Poppies designer paper is retiring and is on the Last Chance list now while supplies last here.  I'm so glad the Painted Poppies bundle will be returning in the new Annual catalog! 

    Measurements:

    • Poppy Parade main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
    • Striped DSP is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • Poppies DSP is 1 3/4 X 3 3/4"
    • White strips are 2" X 4" 

    I hope you're enjoying these fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team!  More tomorrow!

  • Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!


    Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's!  We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate.  See the others here and here. 

    First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

    I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place.  She has a tutorial for it here.  Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card.  So the finished size may be different. 

    Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" .  She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

    I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

    Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here!   I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too.  It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters! 

    The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces!  Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here. 

    Measurements:

    • Calypso Coral base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper is 4" X 5 1/4"
    • White is 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"
