• Bewitching Bundle for my Artist of the Month series

  August 23, 2022

  ---

  I'm excited to share these incredible projects made by Annette. She is our Artist of the Month as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  For creating the projects they get to keep their new bundle as a gift.  

  She chose to use the Bewitching Bundle from the 2022 Holiday Catalog.  See it here. 

  First up today is an eye catching card featuring the Gingham Cottage designer paper. 

  Save

  She used Pumpkin Pie blends markers to color her hat and added a stamped spider and Black hat band.  The stitched circle die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies.  Offsetting them adds a playful look to the card.

  Next is a super cute coordinating candy treat box: 

  Save

  She found the box pattern from Cathryn Themann.  It's about 5" X 3" in size and fits a row of Tootsie Rolls nicely.

  She used the same Cottage Gingham designer paper as she did on the card above. Notice that cute Black & Pumpkin gingham ribbon?  She colored it with a Pumpkin Pie blends marker!  Perfect!  

  The circle and banner die-cuts are from the Stylish Frames dies seen here.  They're my 'go to' set of dies lately!

  She added the perfect finish to her hat band; the Black & Pumpkin glitter washi tape.

  Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle tomorrow!

• 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.  

  Save

  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.  

  Save

  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'. 

  Save

  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!

  If you'd like to join a wonderful team of stampers we'd love to have you!  Our group is amazing, fun & supportive of everyone.

• 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.  

  Save

  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! 

  Save

  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!
