Last of the Team swaps; gorgeous cards from the Holiday & Annual catalogs


Today is the last of the swaps from our Flowerbug's September swap event.  I've sure enjoyed sharing their talent with you and hope you've been inspired by them.  If you haven't seen them all, click here and scroll down.  

First up is a a card by Ginny who featured the Painted Pheasant stamp set seen here.  I just love the colors she achieved on the bird!!

She inked the stamp with markers; spritzed with water and stamped.  A clever way to get multiple colors on this image.  

Her card base is Petal Pink with a bit of Soft Succulent and Cajun Craze added too.

Next is a pretty card made by Marilyn with the Gathered White bundle seen here.  

She used the Deckled rectangles & Stylish Shapes dies in addition to the dies in the Gathered White bundle.  Her colors are Crushed Curry with Early Espresso & White.

Lastly is Tracey's cute card made with the Cheerful Basket bundle.  There's so much life & texture to this card! 

Her colors are Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, White & Soft Suede. The embossing folder is called Gingham, the letters are stamped on the Celebrate Everything host DSP and the apples are colored with Blends markers. 

The 'apples' is made with the adorable Alphabest bundle seen here.  This punch & stamp bundle is so easy to use!  It's photopolymer and allows you to easily and quickly customize your projects.  See it here. 

I hope you've enjoyed seeing the many incredible swap cards my Flowerbug's created for our September swap.  Here's a photo of them all:

  • Winter Wishes & Abundant Beauty masks fun fold card; free tutorial & video!


    Today's project was inspired by my Team member Candace who made this cool fun fold card for a recent swap. 

    Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock. 

    My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).  

    I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here. 

    I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front.  After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. 

    It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2".  I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!

    I created a free project sheet with measurements, directions, supplies used and photos. Click on this link to download or print it. Download Snowflakes fun fold card; abundant beauty masks

    There's something special about a monochromatic card! I used Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock inks, and Lost Lagoon and Basic White card stock.

  • Get 2 cards at a time with this special card layout & a 6 X 6″ piece of designer paper!


    I shared this card on last week's Live video.  It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.

    I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap.  You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper.  Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!

    Other products used:

    Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.

    Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.  

     

    My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too.  She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

    Below are a few cutting templates for you.  

     

     

    Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

    Directions:

    • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
    • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
    • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
    • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces. 

     

     

     

    See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

     

    • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
    • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
    • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

    You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

  • Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!


    I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit.  It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards. 

    I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon.  It's gorgeous!  The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside. 

    I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings. 

    The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit. 

    For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies. 

    We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

     

     

     

    You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings.  The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit. 

     

    See this kit here online.  Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long.  You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas. 

    The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well!  It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes. 

    While you're shopping our kits be sure to check out the huge selection of kits in our Kit Collection. These kits are all inclusive and can be the answer to quick, seamless crafting or a fabulous gift for any creative person.  See them all here.
