Christmas themed fun-fold swaps


Last Friday I started sharing last month's fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. Here are a few more 

Jacki created this one using the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp set. It's a latch card!

Once you add the layers to the card front you'll use the Classic Label punch to create the window for the latch to catch into.  

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
  • DSP 3 3/4" square on the front; 1 1/4" X 4" on the inside right edge
  • Pretty Peacock 4" square ont he front and a thin strip on the right inside edge
  • Latch – Navy 2" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
  • Vanilla latch 1 3/4" X 2 3/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

Here's another card made by Paula featuring the Little Treat Box dies and the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  

She cut the treat box dies into separate pieces (Garden Green & Vanilla) for her card front.  It also opens up to reveal a gift card holder inside. Lots of texture with the Winter Snow embossing folder too!  

Measurements:

  • Garden Green card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
  • Very Vanilla 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" 
  • Real Red 4 1/2" X 10 3/4" scored at 3/4", 4" and 7 1/4" 
  • Poinsettia Place DSP 4 1/4" X 3" 

Stop back again for more Fun Fold cards!  I have lots more to share!

  • Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!


    On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors.  I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.  

    Isn't it gorgeous?  The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here.  A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils!  Watch the video below to see how.  

    I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink.  It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper.  I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins. 

    Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold.  This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here.  It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

    These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here.  *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.  

    Look at this pretty & quick treats box.  It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here.  You get 10 boxes for $6.  Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

    I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.  

    Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!  

    You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards….   I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste!  Watch my tip on this in the video below. 

    I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table!  Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents.  Mmm – I think I have a plan! 

    And here is the video; click on the image below to watch it.

  • Beauty of the Earth cards


    I'm continuing the sharing of our Flowerbug's Team projects from our September swap – Fall cards. 

    Both of today's cards feature the beautiful Beauty of the Earth designer series paper seen here.  First is Mary's pretty card.

    Her colors include Misty Moonlight, Merry Merlot, White & Early Espresso.  

    Products used:

    • Inspired Thoughts bundle seen here
    • Floral Gallery dies for greeting die-cut

    ~~~

    Jacki made this next card using just four 3/4" strips of this pretty designer paper. Think of all the cards you could make with your leftover thin strips!

    Her card base is Mossy Meadow with a 4" X 5 1/4" layer.  Besides the DSP she added the greeting strips and a pretty leaf in yellow that pulls those peeks of yellow from the DSP.  LOVE it!
