I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!


I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper! 

Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. 

I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.  

Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month!  Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Check them out here:

    I have two more fabulous swap cards to share with you from our September Team swaps.  My Flowerbug's are so talented and creative. 

    Paula made a Waterfall card!  These are not difficult but a bit intimidating maybe….  I shared a FB Live video here on how to make one.  

    She featured the Scary Cute bundle seen here as well as the Black & White designs DSP here.  The colors are Black, White & Gorgeous Grape.  

    She also used the Blossoming Happiness dies for her bottom border so she'd have a spot to add the Orchid Oasis 1/8" metallic ribbon for the pull.  

    Measurements: 

    • Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Basic Gray strip 5 1/2" X 1 1/4", waterfall strip is 2 1/2" X 10" scored at 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
    • Gorgeous Grape squares are 2 1/2"
    • White squares are 2 1/4"
    • DSP is 4" X 5 1/4"

    Here's a peak of the last inside panel with the die-cut & spooky scene.  She stamped the greeting on the long inside strip.  

    Again, if you want to know how to make one of these waterfall cards check out my video here.

    Next is a colorful Halloween card made by Sharon using this same bundle.  She also added stamps from the Best Witches & Bewitching stamp sets. 

    Her colors include Rich Razzleberry, Parakeet Party, Black & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Deckle dies for her front layers and inside as well.  

    Here's a photo of this cute bundle.  Click on it to see it in my store. 

    I hope you're enjoying these card swaps and getting inspired by them too!  There's lots more to come!!

    My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous!  I shouldn't be surprised at this point!  

    Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.  

    Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  Look at her amazing coloring!

    The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog.  She used Blends markers for her coloring.  Love that face!

    The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog.  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies. 

    It's also a fun fold 'latch' card!  Here's the inside view: 

    Measurements:

    • Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Side flap is3 1/2" square
    • Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
    • White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

    In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.  

    Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back!  I just love her playful circles layout! 

    She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green.  She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.  

    The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!  


    Measurements:

    • Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border 
    • White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
    • Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!  



    Don't you agree that these cards are amazing!?  I'm so proud to share the creativity of my Flowerbug's Team!  More to come tomorrow!

  • Quick & Easy treats box with measurements!

    I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!  

    I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

    The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
    • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
    • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

    For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.  

     

    This Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit is still available while supplies last!  You can choose between the full kit here for $20.50 or the refill here (without the stamp set & ink) for $11.  

    You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin.  You can subscribe to get one kit each month here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.
