Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

January 15, 2020

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too.

And guess what?! They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month! It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves. It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration. There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I'll share more on that soon.

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White. It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly. It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate. Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon!

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go. Click here to get the details on it. Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards! All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

November 28, 2023
Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies:

Save

Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch!

Measurements:
- Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"
Save

The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last.

Save

This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.

Save

Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

Save

The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months. See it here.

I'll share more projects tomorrow!

Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

November 27, 2023

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?

I've always loved wreaths. In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room.

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

Save

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

Save

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck!

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made. I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

Save

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

Save

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath? Gold or white embossed greeting?

Save

Below is the video where I shared this pretty card. Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!
