Nuts About Squirrels fun fold card with Stamparatus video

November 5, 2021

We made this cute card at my October card clubs. See the video towards the bottom of this post.

It features the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the Holiday catalog. Click here to see it.

My colors include Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Vanilla & Pear Pizzazz. See the tag? We stamped directly on the die-cut tag using Soft Suede ink. This tag is from the Pretty Pillow Box dies on page 9 of the Holiday catalog.

Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

November 25, 2021
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

Save

There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper. Gorgeous just fits.

Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members.

First is Annette's pretty card. I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card. You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper! See it here.

Save

She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting. I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too.

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.

Save

She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card.

I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper. Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.

Measurements:
- Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge
- DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip
- Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip
- inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
- Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"

Pretty & Iridescent Whimsy & Wonder Team card swaps!

November 24, 2021

Check out these pretty cards made with the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper and the Whimsical Trees bundle.

This first one was made by Marilyn. She trimmed off an inch on the right side of her card front so it shows off the pretty Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper.

Save

Other features here are the Iridescent Snowflakes, the Merry Melody embossing folder and the Genial Gems from the Annual catalog.

This Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper has been on low inventory multiple times. It is not carrying over so get it while you can here.

Next is Karen's pretty card. I love the three banners showing off this pretty paper. And the greeting in the center of the snowflake too!

Here's a link to a video featuring many projects using the Whimsy & Wonder suite you may want to watch.

Have a wonderful & Happy Thanksgiving!!

A Shaker Card anyone can make with the Peaceful Deer bundle

November 23, 2021

Have you ever made a shaker card? Have you thought it was too much work to bother with or maybe you thought you needed special supplies?

Well today I'm sharing a fun & EASY shaker card idea. The only special thing you need is a clear envelope or cello bag.

And the Deer Punch is now available!!! Get it here.

Save

These cards are so fun and interactive. You will be so proud to give one of these. One of my favorite things about this type of shaker card is that it isn't thick so it requires no extra postage.

1st step: add a white punched deer from the Deer Builder punch popped up with a Dimensional.

2nd: Insert into your clear envelope and add a good pinch of Subtle Shimmer sequins.

3rd: Fold the envelope over tightly to keep the sequins on the side of the DSP you want. Secure the flap.

Here's a photo of the back of the shaker part. You can see the back side of the designer paper and where I folded the clear envelope over to secure. A small cello bag would also work here.

After the shaker part is done just add your frame over it securing with adhesive. Add to the card and finish!

Save

Here's a version featuring the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper; it works wonderfully here. The card base and ink are Mint Macaron. The greeting is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and the die-cut is from Tasteful Labels dies.

Save

And below is the video; or click here to see it on YouTube. I sure hope you watch it AND make one yourself!
