LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!


I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards. 

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable.  The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th.  The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April.

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.  

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here.  It also includes a sheet of White in the pack.  This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front. 

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A. 

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front.  What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here.  It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool! 

Measurements:

  • Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2".  Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line.  You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it. 
  • Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
  • Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
  • DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across.  The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Next is a neat card made by Rita. 

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper. 

Measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
  • DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"

I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques. 

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set. 

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image.  Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors.  She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes! 

I'll share more team swaps next week!

  • A great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.

    Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
    I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

    I love this technique!!

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

    The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

    This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

    Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

    The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

    These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

    This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
    I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

  • New! Delicate Framing Easel card with free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. I also have a free project sheet for you as well.

    It features one of our new online products called Delicate Framing; a beautiful greeting set.

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, White & Gold foil. The other products include Creative Haven dies (new), Everyday Arches dies, Gold & Black twine & the Textured Notes stamp set (leaves).
    Here are the Creative Haven dies:

    I focused on these two new products in my projects – the Creative Haven dies seen above for the leaves and the Delicate Framing stamp set for it’s greetings. Both are new this month.

    Aren’t the greetings wonderful? See the Delicate Framing set here.
    As you can see, it’s an easel card which is quite simple to make. Add a second score line in the middle of your card base front and add something to the inside to hold it up.

    You can print or download the free project sheet here. *I recommend saving them to a file for easy access.

    Below is the video tutorial for this pretty card and one more featuring these products.

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

  • Striking Nests of Winter card kit to go; reserve yours ASAP


    Today I’m sharing my second card kit to go for November. It is a former paper pumpkin kit called the Nests of Winter; but I jazzed them up a bit plus added more.

    This pretty kit includes lots of foil accents and a wintery bird theme. I added Christmas greetings but they could easily be winter themed all occasion cards too. This kit includes 12 cards with envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial. It includes so much product you could make even more cards with just a few card bases.

    This card kit will go out in mid to late November, before Thanksgiving, giving you plenty of time to get them out for Christmas if needed. The PDF will be sent to you via email immediately after payment.
    *You will need greetings, ink and a paper trimmer to complete them.

    You can see it here on my Shop along with many more kit & tutorial options. It’s $29 plus shipping. See all of my kits here.
