Pretty Z-fold with Winterly Tree Tops – free project sheet & video tutorial too


The Stamp Sale starts today and lasts through Wednesday.  Get 15% off all Annual Catalog stamp sets!  Click here to see all of our stamps.

Today I'm sharing a beautiful card I made on my Live video last week. 

Isn't it pretty?  I used Pretty Peacock & White card stock along with a bit of Crumb Cake to pull in the colors in the bird.  The only ink I used was Pretty Peacock. 

I love the pine frame this bundle includes. I also used the Forever Forest stamp set for the trees in the background and for the inside. 

 I colored the bird with Blends markers and a Blender Pen. Since I inked the bird in Pretty Peacock ink I was able to spread that ink with a Blender Pen. It works wonderfully on water-based ink which all of our inks in our color families are.  Watch the video to see how this works. 

This neat bundle is great for all occasions and doesn't have to be used for a wintery card.  See it here. 

I created a free project sheet for this card; click on the following link to download it or print it off.  Download Winterly Tree Tops Z fold Sept club

I shared a second card using other stamps & dies in this bundle in the video. Click here to watch it and you'll see more ways to use our Blender pens with our Watercolor Pencils. 

Below is the video I shared on my Facebook page.  It's also on YouTube as well.  Follow me!

  • Pretty Funfold card swaps by my talented Team!


    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday! 

    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. 

    What a gorgeous card and the nativity die-cut is beautiful with the stars DSP background.  It's actually an easy fun fold too.  Unfortunately this pretty Shining Brightly designer paper is gone and out of stock. There are more products unavailable each day! The Last Chance list is brutal! *see all items retiring here. 

    Her colors are simple but stunning – Night of Navy, Vanilla and Gold. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 3" and 1" X 5 1/4"
    • Gold Foil 3" X 3 1/4" and 1 1/8" X 5 3/8"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4", plus die-cuts

    Next is a uniquely special New Year's card made by Paula. 

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Silver & White. Like I said, it's uniquely beautiful and an easy fun fold too. 

    Measurements & products used:

    • Gray Granite card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3" & 7 1/4"
    • Silver glimmer paper 2 3/4" X 5 1/4" & 1" X 5 1/4" (sold out now)
    • Naturally Gilded DSP (online exclusive) 2 1/2" X 5" &  3/4" X 5"
    • leaf die-cut – Artistic dies from Annual catalog
    • Greeting die-cuts Nested Essentials (Annual catalog)

    She used the Artistic dies to sponge a little detail inside her card.  Love it!

  • STUNNING Christmas card swaps full of glitz & shine!


    This is the third batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our November Glitz, Shine & Glimmer swap. 

    First is a gorgeous card made by Roxann.  She thought of doing just an ornament but added it to a card front instead.

    • Shining Brightly specialty designer paper 4" X 5 1/4" (2023 Holiday catalog)

    The Stars at Night & Night Divine bundles are both on the Last Chance list & available while supplies last. It looks like the Shining Brightly paper is sold out…..

    Next is an amazing 'Swing & Swap' card by Sharon. I might accuse her of being an overachiever with this card as it's over the top amazing!
