They feature a new bundle called Spotlight on Nature. It includes a pretty set of detailed circle dies along with the stamp set. These dies are going to be a big favorite!

I used two new In Colors here – Pretty in Pink and Shy Shamrock. I colored the flowers in with Peach Pie & Pretty in Pink Blends markers. There are two designer papers used here; one is the new 2024-26 In Color designer paper pack and the other is Unbounded Beauty.

The front flap is folded back towards the left side; this gives you the opportunity to add another layer of designer paper.

November 20, 2023
I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'.

This first card was made by Tracey. I think we all love the fractured card layout!

Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

November 17, 2023
The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects! Say that three times! Ha!

Save

I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance. Easy peasy!

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
Save

Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.

Save

Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool. Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.

Save

I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video

November 16, 2023

The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes. I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.

This one is actually a fun fold card. It sure doesn't look like it though!

Save

I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:

Save

See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here? There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers. It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper. It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate. I kept mine quite simple.

I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere. See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.

Save

You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
