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:

  • 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!


    Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

    We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

    ~~~

    Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

    Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  


    Measurements are: 

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
    • Evergreen layer 4" square

     

    Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

    Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
    • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
    • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
    • Designer paper squares are 3"

    Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

    I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

  • Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints


    Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

    First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

     

    • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
    • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
    • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

    It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

    The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

    Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

    Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

    She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

    The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

    Measurements:

    • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
    • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
    • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

    Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.

    First is the Sweetest Christmas fun fold cards:  

    This kit includes 10 cards and $20 in products so you can make even more with the leftover designer paper, ribbon and adhesive backed sequins.

    It's $25 & includes the following: 

    • 10 pre-cut cards – all pieces are pre-cut, die-cut or punched (except your new designer paper)
    • 1/2 pkg of the Sweetest Christmas DSP (6 X 12")
    • a share of Garden Green ribbon and Adhesive-Backed sequins

    The other option is my Christmas Stamp a Stack card kit.  

    This kit includes 12 pre-cut cards – 3 each of these 4 cards.  Everything is cut or punched for you.  Nothing is stamped but you can use any stamp set you want to finish them.
