Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies:

Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

Measurements:

• Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
• Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last.

This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.

Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

I'll share more projects tomorrow!

• Jar of Flowers shaker card

  June 8, 2020

  ---

  I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us.  I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!  

  Save

  I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads!  When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them. 

  Save

  Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!  

  I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron.  I added the ribbon in two different ways.  On the left I secured it behind the dome.  On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

  I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.

• Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

  June 5, 2020

  ---

  I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been.  People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too!  I LOVE hearing this!  

  So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.  

  Save

  The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side.  Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown.  Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines. 

  The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

  Save

  You can see part of the template under the cards here:

  For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.
