January’s Card Kits to go; 1st is True Love black & white with pops of color!


I was so happy when I saw the True Love designer paper in the new Spring Catalog.  I absolutely LOVE black & white prints in our papers!  I find it's the most versatile to use since you can add ANY COLOR you want to it and Black and White makes it POP! 

If you like to fussy cut or color you'll fall in love with this pretty paper. 

Look at these pretty cards! And you can color the floral images with markers OR fussy cut them out to add beautiful detail to the cards.

I created 5 cards; two of each design for a total of 10 cards. Three of the five designs are unique fun folds too. *see photo below

You'll receive all pre-cut, punched & die-cut pieces, 1/2 package of True Love Designer paper (6" X 12"), black glittered ribbon, Black matte gems and a share of 2020-22 In Color enamel dots so you can finish these cards at home.  

       

I chose to use the Vine Design stamp set since it's full of a wide variety of greetings and the lovely vine and floral images too.  You can add on either the stamp set or bundle at an extra 10%!  It fits in the package and costs nothing extra in shipping costs. And if you do you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice also.

I used Black, Real Red and Just Jade inks. Remember you'll stamp your own images.  

How do my kits to go work?  

  • Once you pay you'll be on the list to receive the kit. They are shipped out at the end of the month.  
  • Then you'll receive the PDF instructions in an email; immediately upon payment. It includes photos, measurements (to make more!), a supplies list and step by step directions.

  • More WOW swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with measurements


    Okay; are you as amazed by this card as I am?!  Candace made this with the Submarine Life bundle.

    The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image.  Incredible!

    I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive.  She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle! 

    Measurements: 

    • Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.  
    • Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom.  Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
    • Back white is 3" X 3 3/8" 

    Here's a view of the back side.  

    This is a total 'WOW' card; don't you agree? Candace is an incredible designer and LOVES swapping!

    Mary made this sweet card with the Sunny Days designer paper seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration through February or while supplies last.  

    I've always loved Red with Pool Party; one of my favorite color combos. 

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", second flap is 6" X 4 1/4" score at 3 1/8"
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4"

  • AMAZING Fun Fold card swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team!!


    We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and the them was fun fold cards.  Wow; did they ever deliver fabulous cards!!!  

    First is a sweet card made by Ginny who chose the cute Bee Mine Suite. 

    Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Sweet Sorbet, & Black.  She cased the card from quite a few people seen online including Karen Titus & Robyn's Roost. 

     I absolutely love the tag with the added pocket; it's made with the Tailored Tags dies!  

    Measurements: 

    • Daffodil Delight card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" card but scored at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2".  
    • Designer paper on the front are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" for outer areas. middle is 2" X 5 1/4" & the last two beside the middle layer is 7/8" X 5 1/4" 

    Here's a view of the back:

    Next is an 'over the top' card made by Sharon who chose the Hooray for Surprises bundle.  

    She used the Most Adored designer paper from Sale-a-Bration (seen here) and Real Red & White. This specialty designer paper is still available and free with any $50 purchase through February – while supplies last. 

    Other products used are the Country Bouquet stamp set in the Annual catalog and Classic Matte dots

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 5 1/2", 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  
    • 2nd layer under heart & curved rectangle die-cuts is 4 1/2" X 1 1/2" scored at 2 1/4". 
    • She adhered two curvy rectangle die-cuts (from the Nested Essential dies) over this. 
    • DSP – 2 pieces at 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 3/4" X 5 1/4"

    The Hooray for Surprises bundle has multiple dies that allow for  peek-a-boo surprises. You can see in the photo below that the heart die-cut can be 'pulled' away to reveal a hidden message. There are multiple dies in this set that provide a tear-away element. It's so cool!  

    Here's a photo of the Hooray for Surprises bundle; even with out the peek-a-boo elements I love the stamped images and dies! *see the perforations on the large dies? That provides the tear away aspect.

    Next is a sweet card made by Joan; it was her first card swap with us as she joined my Flowerbug's Team in January!  She did an incredible job too!

    She chose to feature the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & coordinating Songbird Builder punch. See the stamp set here and the punch here; they used to be a bundle but are now sold separately. 

    She designed a fun fold I haven't seen before!  It's a Dutch door fold with an added top flap. So amazing for her first swap!  

    Measurements:

    • Pretty Peacock – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back, front layer 3 1/4" X 4", greeting layer 3 1/2" X 1 1/4"
    • Pool Party – lower fold is 8" X 1 3/4" scored at 4", upper fold is 4" X 7" scored at 3 1/2"
    • White front 3 X 3 3/4", front of inside flap is 3" X 2", inside 3 3/4" X 3 1/4", greeting 3 1/4" X 1"
    • scraps of White, Lemon Lime Twist & Pecan Pie for leaves, nest & bird

    Here's the card fully opened: 

    Aren't they all amazing?!!  And I have LOTS more to share with you too!  Stay tuned!

  • Trusty Tools single gatefold card with the Sale-a-Bration Trusty Toolbox designer paper


    Last week I shared the projects featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper in my weekly video. I've shared the free project sheets for two of those in the last two blog posts. 

     

    Today I'll focus on the third project on the right – a single gate-fold card with a 'faux' toolbox on the front.  

    I love this greeting!  It's from the Trusty Tools bundle seen here.  The tools in front are all fussy cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper (and Holographic specialty paper in the Annual Catalog) although a few of the dies in the bundle coordinate with the paper. 

    I did not create a project sheet for this project but I will provide the measurements:

    Measurements:

    • Gray Granite card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4" plus die-cut tool box pieces 
    • DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
    • Black 3 1/2" square
    • White greeting layer 2 3/4" X 1"; inside is 3 1/4" square

    Here's the inside view: 

    I also shared this adorable treat box on the video as well as another cool fun-fold card; I hope you watch it! 

    Below is the video where I demo how to make it.  Click here or on the photo below to watch this and two more projects featuring this bundle and designer paper.
