Greetings of the Season fun fold card with video & free project sheet

I'm loving the new Season of Green & Gold suite of projects that was released in the Online Exclusives this month.  Check them all out here. There are tons of online extras that are not seen in any printed catalog. 

Today's card is gorgeous if I do say so myself!  It features the new Greetings of the Season stamp & die bundle and this gorgeous Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper.

The card is a simple fold back with an extra layer added for the designer paper. It also has a textured layer on the left front fold as well.  Lots of great but simple additions that puts it over the top. 

Look at the greeting here: The new Greetings of the Season stamp set is loaded with stand alone and builder sentiments.

The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here.

The stamp set is fabulous but look at the dies! Each one has a hole for ribbon or twine. But look at the sample above; they didn't use them at all. 

I shared two versions in my video; one with a gold printed piece of DSP on the front and the other with a striped one. Which do you prefer?

There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects.

Here's a photo of this beautiful designer paper; I will be featuring it in an upcoming kit to go.

• Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

  June 25, 2020

  ---

  Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

  Save

  I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  

  Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight?  Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!!  Amazing, but stunning!  

  If you want to see this bundle online, click here. 

  I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

• Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

  June 23, 2020

  ---

  Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

  Save

  The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White – 5 1/4" X 4"
  • Black 3 3/4" square
  • Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

• Window cards for tonight’s FB Live; stamp right along with me!

  June 22, 2020

  ---

  Here are the cards for tonight's FB live projects.  Monday night's videos are designed for you to stamp right along with me.

  Gather some supplies, pre-cut your pieces and join me here at 7: 30 pm CT.  The measurements are below.

  Save

  For the card above I used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and the Tasteful Labels dies.  There are two separate pieces of Misty Moonlight and White CS below the DSP panel.  The greeting is from the Lovely You stamp set. 

  Save

  I used the Lovely You stamp set in Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  That pretty texture is the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. The window is made with the Label Me Lovely punch seen here. 

  Save

  I had to use my new favorite stamp set Forever Fern for this window card.  I stamped the same leaf image repeatedly in Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake.  Love blues and browns together!  The circle is a 2" punch and the pretty label die is the Tasteful Labels again. My favorite set of label dies now! 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Main window layer 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    Layered piece 3 3/4" X 5" (the Magenta card has a tighter layer; 3 5/8" X 4 7/8")

  Use Designer paper, stamped or textured card stock and assorted dies or punches for your windows; layer them if you'd like.

  Supplies:

  • Punches – Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Medium Daisy, Confetti Flowers Border punches
    Designer series paper – Flowers for Every Season
