Pretty Pumpkins with Be Dazzling specialty paper


After seeing other projects with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle I had to get it.  I love the images and the font in the greetings. 

I stamped the large pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie ink and colored them and the leaves with Blends markers using both Pumpkin Pie & Olive markers plus light Crumb Cake for the stem & light Cajun Craze for the darkest areas on the pumpkins. 


I was playing around with the Be Dazzling specialty paper and decided to try to color it.  I had a spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol & either Pumpkin Pie or Cajun Craze ink refill.  So I spritzed it on to a piece of the glittery paper.  It worked beautifully!  I did have to let it sit for a few minutes to set well.  Then I rubbed it with tissue to get any excess off before I die-cut the pretty filigree pumpkin with it.  

I also spritzed my White twine to color it as well. 

Other products:

  • Ornate Layer & Potted Succulent dies
  • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
  • Wink of Stella on the leaves

  • You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card


    On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

    The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

    Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

    Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

    The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. 

    Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for this DSP and the Citrus Blooms dies.

  • A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

    It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

    This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

    How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end. 

    I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

    Here's the inside view:

  • Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration


    Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

    Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

    Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

    Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle: 

    Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle. 

    Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

    Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

    Here's a list of the products she used:

    • So Swirly embossing folder
    • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
    • Exposed Brick embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

    And look how the cauldron opens!! 

    She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

    I'll share more Team swaps next week.
