New Product Sneak Peak; the incredible Sun Prints suite!


Today I'm sharing a pretty card made with two new In Colors, a new stamp & die bundle, embossing folder, ribbon and Designer Paper!  Whew! 

The new In Color I used here is called Orchid Oasis.  The greeting and one fern image are stamped with another new In Color called Starry Night.  They coordinate beautifully!  

This card is a sketch my Flowerbug's Team is currently creating with.  We have bi-monthly challenges of sketches or color combos with prize patrol.  I thought this sketch would work well with some of our brand new product. 

The Nature's Prints stamp set comes with beautiful ferns, leaves, a flower, an ink splat and gorgeous mixed font greetings. It will be super popular!  In fact I may feature the Sun Prints Designer Paper in a card kit to go in May; I love it so much!  

It's hard to see the fern background on the White layer here.  I sponged a bit of Orchid Oasis ink onto the textured fern CS.  I wrapped the new 1/8" Orchid Oasis metallic trim around it and added a bow on the right; just like the sketch above.  The white embellishments are the Classic Matte dots in the current Jan-June mini catalog. 

You can see a peak of the pretty Sun Prints Designer Paper in the background.  It is filled with botanical prints in Navy, Pacific Point, Starry Sky & Gray Granite.  I'll share more projects featuring this suite next week.

  • Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial


    I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video.  Here's my favorite project: 

    The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks.  The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather. 

    For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern.  So cool!  

    After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.  

     

    For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers. 

    Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:

    1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock. 
    2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder. 
    3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer. 
    4. Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder. 

    Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow. 

    Here's the free project sheet with directions, photo, measurements and a supplies list: Download Paper Tags Joseph's Coat card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another I shared in the video:

  • Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s


    Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

    First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

    Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
    • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

    Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

    Candace made this next card – a double box card! 

    She used the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  It's a great 2-step set with lots of possibilities.  Her colors include Strawberry Slush, Black, Gray and White.  The Designer Paper is the Botanical Textures; also in our Online Store here. 

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 1", 2", 3" & 4"
    • Strawberry Slush textured layers – 3 at 7/8" X 5 1/4", 1 at 7/8" X 3 7/8"
    • White front 2 7/8" X 3 7/8", back is 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Black 2nd box layer 4 1/4" X 4" scored at 3" & 4"
    • DSP 3 1/8" X 5 3/8"
