Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video


We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs.  It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here. 

I chose these colors – Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent.  I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special. 

*Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.  

I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often.  It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last. 

I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options.  On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle.  On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers.  It was almost a tie on which option they chose.  

I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them.  You can see how in the video below.  It's actually an easy card to make. 

If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.

  • You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card


    On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

    The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

    Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

    Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

    The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. 

    Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for this DSP and the Citrus Blooms dies.

  • A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

    It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

    This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

    How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end. 

    I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

    Here's the inside view:

  • Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration


    Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

    Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

    Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

    Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle: 

    Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle. 

    Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

    Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

    Here's a list of the products she used:

    • So Swirly embossing folder
    • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
    • Exposed Brick embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

    And look how the cauldron opens!! 

    She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

    I'll share more Team swaps next week.
