Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!

Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

Save

I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

Save

The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents.

  Huge Stamping Sale!!!

  This weekend is our annual Stamping sale where many of my customers sell off their excess paper crafting supplies.  I have a fantastic crew of helpers I call my 'committee'.  They set up the sale, do the books, and basically run the entire thing!  I am so blessed to have them.  Luckily they love it but it's a ton of work!

  If you live near us in ND it's so worth a road trip!!!  Gather some friends and stop in Saturday! 

  Remember, this is not my stash!  I usually do not sell things here anymore.  I save my items for my BOGO sales. 

  Save

  Because of the huge quantity of items and the large number of sellers, I am unable to take requests for wanted items. I'm so sorry about that. I know these photos are a big tease to those who do not live near me and I apologize!  

  Save

  If you live near us in Minot, ND it's well worth a road trip!  It's Saturday from 9-3 pm for everyone.  The Early Bird sale starts Friday for my current customers (those who have shopped with me in the last 6 months).

• Amazing Flowerbug Team swaps!

  July 22, 2020

  ---

  This week and next I'll be sharing a bunch of recent card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's. 

  The first card is made by Annette with the set called From All of Us on page 93 of the annual catalog.  She used Blends markers to color the image in.  

  Save

  Her colors are Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  The card above was for last month and the one below was for July; both made by Annette.   

  This next card is a unique origami fold.  I shared the 'how to' and video on this post here.  I was grateful to Annette for demonstrating it at our last Team meeting.  So easy and it sure highlights the main image! 

  Save

  I LOVE the sign hanging on the cording!!

  This card is made with the new Cinnamon Cider; one of our newest In Colors.  She stamped the background tone-on-tone and the origami piece is made using the 6 X 6" 2020-22 In Color DSP.  The stamp set is Back on Your Feet on page 92 of the Annual catalog. 

  Stay tuned for more fabulous swaps tomorrow!

• Origami card fold with Flowers for Every Season with video

  July 21, 2020

  ---

  Here's another card I made on FB live last week using the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper.  It's an origami fold that creates a perfect place for your stamped image in the center. 

  Save

  It starts out with a 4 1/4" piece of designer series paper and you place it on a score board on the diagonal so the points are at 3" on the top and the left.  You can do this with a paper cutter too.  See here or watch the video below: 

  Save

  Then you score at 1" and 1 1/2".  Rotate it and do this on all sides.  Fold as shown.  

  Save

  The stamped White layer inside is 2 7/8" square.  

  Save

  Below is the video for this card and another pretty one made with the Fancy Phrases stamp set.
