Today I'm sharing the last batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme was to feature glitz, shine or glimmer.  They truly did their best to show off our beautiful specialty papers!

Jacki made this card using the Night Divine dies seen here.  *Unfortunately it's retiring and available while supplies last.

• 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!

  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.

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

• Live tonight! Show off your Designer Paper with this fun layout!

  November 22, 2021

  ---

  We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here.  Every other Monday I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live where we use our Designer Paper in fun ways.  

  I love this layout!  It is perfect for small patterns of Designer Paper. Turning squares on the angle adds a lot of playful interest to your card and showcases one main image, die-cut or punch in the center. 

  Save

  I post the measurements a few days before the Live event so you have the time to prep your pieces so we can complete them together.  

  I chose to use the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper from the Holiday catalog. (see it here)  And the Perfectly Plaid stamp set & Pine Tree punch.  

  Save

  Card stock is Real Red, Mossy Meadow & Basic White; ink is Mossy Meadow. 

  Measurements:

  Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2" 

  White CS – 2" square, 2 7/8" square, 4" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for the punched piece

  DSP (Heartwarming Hugs) – 2 1/4", two different patterns at 2 3/4"

• A treat bag from an envelope? Yes!

  November 19, 2021

  ---

  I cannot believe what a nice size this treat bag is – all from an A2 size envelope!  

  Save

  • Basic Border dies seen here 
  • Tailor Made Tag dies seen here 

  Steps:

  1. First I stamped just the flap with snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set using Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather inks.  Then I stamped the Highland Heather tag and heat embossed it with White embossing powder.  

  2. Next score 1" on the bottom and up both sides while the envelope is flat.  Fold on the score lines and press each fold well. 

  Save

  3. Open up the envelope into a box. Secure the bottom corners to the flat bottom. 

  4. Die-cut the flap using the Basic Border dies. Add a second layer of Coastal Cabana – also die-cut.  

  5. Fill the bag with treats, wrap the mesh ribbon around it and add the tag.  Tie it into a bow.  Done!

  And below is the video; it's the last project I share on this FB Live replay!
