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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

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.

Save

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:

Save

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.

**Remember to check out all of my kits to go and tutorials here at my shop; choosing more than one will save on shipping.

• Last of the Holiday & Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps!

  August 22, 2022

  ---

  And here are the last of the Team swaps made by my Flowerbug members.  Our theme was to use Holiday or Sale-a-Bration catalog items.  They knocked it out of the park as usual!!

  First up is a stunning card made by Marla.  She featured the Peace To You stamp set seen here.

  She used TWO of the new specialty designer papers here – the Snowflakes 12" Vellum as an overlay on the stamped image.  Then the long dotted strip is from the Metallic & Shimmer 6" paper.  These are both in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  

  She added a wrap of Silver Metallic Mesh ribbon around the left edge, which helps hide any adhesive when adding the vellum.

  Next is a cute card using the Yeti to Party stamp set made by Monica.  I LOVE her bright, happy colors for this holiday card.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The color combo is Coastal Cabana, White & Calypso Coral.  The designer paper background is the Sale-a-Bration 'Rings of Love'.  She stamped snowflakes on it to make it more 'holiday' themed.  She tore a strip of Happy Forest Friends DSP below it. 

  ~~~ 

  Lastly is a neat card made by Miles using the Tree Lot dies.  Unfortunately these dies are out of stock now and not available.  They were free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion but they ran out and will not be bringing them back.  A sad reminder that Sale-a-Bration items are 'While Supplies Last'.

  There are so many neat details about this card:

  • He die-cut a window in the Sahara Sand front panel with the Stylish Shapes dies
  • The greeting is from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalog
  • He added a strip of Natural 1/2" woven ribbon
  • The background is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder

  Here is a photo of all of our  amazing August Flowerbug Team swaps!

• Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!

  August 21, 2022

  ---

  Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August.  I hope you get some inspiration from them.  

  First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog.  Or click here.

  Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce.  She colored the images in with Blends markers.  I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!  

  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.  It is currently out of stock but will return in September.  

  ~~~

  Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.  

  She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen.  She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

  That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August.  Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!  

  We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun!

  It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

  Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I'll list them here:

  • Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
  • Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
  • The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

• Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets

  August 19, 2022

  ---

  Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.  

  First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP.  We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors. 

  The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP.  The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies.  That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here.  All contribute to making this card stunning! 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP are both 3" X 4"

  ~~~

  Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made.  She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White.  The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.  

  The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder.  The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here.  The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Soft Suede – 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" 

  ~~~

  Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula.  She cased a card made by Colleen Magness.  It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping.  Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker.  Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp.  Huff & stamp!  

  The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here.  It's new!  

  Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"
  • Pumpkin Pie 5 3/8 X 4 1/8" 

  Remember that if you're wanting any of the Holiday Catalog products it's smart to order in August so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!

  I'll share the rest of our Team swaps soon.
