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!

  • Happy Valentine’s Day! A Sweet Treat Pouch; easy gift!


    Here's a super neat way to give a treat to a friend.  My friend Marilyn made these for her club gals this month. Many of my gals like to make something special for their fellow club members when they are hostess. I love seeing their creativity!

    Isn't it cute?  It's made from our clear envelopes!  I think it's super clever.  She found the idea online and changed it up so it opens at the bottom; no need to destroy the pretty topper to get to your treat! 

    The card stock and From My Heart designer paper are 'inside' the envelope.  You can adhere your candies with mini glue dots to stay in place.  

    Watch the Facebook Live video replay below.  I made one adding a nice big cookie.  I placed the cookie in another clear envelope and inserted it into the outer one.  I just checked it and it's still soft a few weeks later! 

    Details:

    • Clear envelopes – get 50 in a package for $6.  See them here
    • Card stock topper is 3 1/2" X 5" scored at 2 1/2". Rounded with the Detailed Trio punch
    • From My Heart DSP topper is 1 1/2" X 4 3/4", bottom two corners are rounded
    • Card stock inside the envelope is 4 1/4" square
    • Designer Series Paper inside the envelope is 4" square
    • Be sure to have the opening at the bottom for easy access to your treat! 
    • Stamps are from Little Ladybug, Heartfelt, Butterfly Gala, Stitched So Sweetly
    • I stamped directly on the punched heart above; it's punched from the From My Heart Specialty Designer paper!
    • Heart Punch Pack 

    Here's the video for this pouch and two adorable Little Ladybug cards.

  • Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts


    I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!  

    What is a 5 sheet wonder?  See the templates above the cards here?  Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards.  Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines!  My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy.  See them all here.  

    The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper.   First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards.  Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!  

    I'm offering this class locally and as a kit to go or just the pdf tutorial for anyone else who cannot attend.  

    Local class is Tuesday, February 25th at 6 pm. Cost is $20 and includes the 10 cards with envelopes and the pdf tutorial.  RSVP by Feb 23rd. 

    The kit to go includes the printed templates, 10 card bases and assorted ribbons.  It does not include punched greetings or rhinestones. Cost is $20 plus $8.50 for Priority Shipping.  Email me by February 25th at lagreff60@gmail.com to order.  Combine it with my February Fun-fold cards kit to go for discounted shipping. 

    The pdf tutorial is always available at my Tutorial shop here.

  • Pleased as Punch; another fun fold card with optional pocket


    I am loving the spring-like Pleased as Punch designer paper; it's available now while supplies last!  See it here. I highly suspect this paper will run out before the end of March.  I have no inside information but it's happened before and if you really want it; don't wait!  click here to get yours. 

    I knew I wanted to make the focus of this card a square shape so I could add four pieces of the Designer Paper on the front with the greeting on top. So I had to figure out a way for the side to be separate.  I rarely make square cards so this was my compromise.  

    I adhered the side flap to the card base just at the outside edges to form a pocket.  This is for either money or a gift card. 

    Details:

    Measurements:

    • Mango Melody card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  I cut up to the score line at 1 1/4" on the outside edge. The extra piece is textured with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.  It measures 7/8" X 4"
    • White – 4" square
    • Balmy Blue 1" X 5"

    If you like this unique designer paper check out my Pleased as Punch Fun Fold card kit to go here.  There are just 4 days left to opt in on it.
