Quadrangle Cards Technique; a great use of your 6 X 6″ Designer Paper!

September 4, 2020

Check out this great template where you cut a 6 X 6" piece of Designer Paper into 4 pieces for 4 cards. I also layered it with a 6 1/2" piece of card stock for easy borders! Look!

Save

I created the above cards with a sheet of the beautiful Plaid Tidings 6" DSP from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle and the two Daisy punches in the annual catalog. Super easy cards!

The colors are Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.

Then I used a different sheet of the Plaid Tidings DSP on Facebook Live last week. I LOVE Black & White with a pop of color so I added Magenta Madness and used the Zany Zebras stamp set seen here.

Save

Aren't they fun?! I wasn't sure if I wanted to add any pink to the zebras but I ended up loving it! I colored just a bit on the zebras with the Magenta Madness Blends marker.

If you're wondering just where this stamp set is, you can find it in the Beginner's Brochure or click here to see it online.

Below is my template for the Designer Paper.

Save

Next you'll see how you can place the DSP pieces onto a piece of 6 1/2" square piece of card stock and get nice layers.

You can see how I did it in the video below. Remember I host 6 FB Live's a week. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm. Check them out here. Just click on 'more' and then 'videos'.

Save

Tip: If you have trouble measuring things I suggest that once you have a template for both the Designer Paper and the layered card stock piece you save one to reuse over and over again.

I hope you like these cards! Be sure to watch the video below to catch the tips & tricks on using this template.

Here's the FB Live replay for you. Enjoy!

Wow; more incredible swap cards!

April 13, 2022

Today is the second group of incredible swap cards created by my Flowerbug's Team. You can see the first set here.

The first card was made by Karen. She used the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

She used the Horizon, Stitched Rectangle & Tasteful Label dies. Sadly the Horizon & Tasteful Label dies are not returning in the upcoming Annual Catalog.

Her colors include Just Jade (retiring), Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue. She also textured the large White layer with the Bark 3D embossing folder. Just lovely!

Next is a colorful card made by Candace. She used a brand new (sneak peak) stamp set from the upcoming 2022-23 Stampin' Up! annual catalog. It's called Uniquely Artistic.

Save

She fussy cut the pretty flowers and popped them up on her stamped and blended background. A beautiful floral scene!

Lastly for today is an amazing card made by Mary. She used the Beauty of Friendship bundle.

Save

See all of those colored, curvy layers behind the Stitched Rectangle frame? Those are all cut using a curved 'hill' die-cut and layered over each other. Wow!

She also colored her tree die-cuts using Blends markers. Incredibly real looking!

Save

Wasn't I right? I told you they would be incredible!

I'll share more of our Flowerbug's fabulous swap cards tomorrow.

Beautiful Team Swaps; featuring a tree theme

April 12, 2022

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting and swap. I can't wait to share all of the cards with you! Our theme was to use leaves, trees or water on a card and each and every one is amazing!!! I'll share a few each day this week.

First is a card made by Annette featuring the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The clean and simple design really shows off this beautiful designer paper – Beauty of the Earth. It is on the retiring list right now; see it here. The bottom strip of a line of trees is one of the papers in this pack. What a perfect way to show it off and how well it coordinates with another sheet she used for her large circle. The sentiment is from 'In the Moment' stamp set. This was cased from Rachael Tessman.

~~~

Next is a card created by Marilyn. She also used the pretty Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

Save

The card stock is Night of Navy and she used Old Olive accents with the Bough Punch. The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly which are on the retiring list and one I'm soooo sad to see going away! See it here.

Her card is a fun fold – Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The DSP is1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She is featuring the Beauty of Friendship bundle seen here.

Save

Her main image is stamped on our 12 X 12" Linen paper seen here. After stamping her tree and cloud she colored the background with Blends markers! Who knew you could stamp & color on it so beautifully!?

She adhered the linen (since it's adhesive-backed) to her paper first. Then used the Take Your Pick tool to pull away some of the threads on the sides. Isn't this amazing!

Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

April 11, 2022
I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live. I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up! This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

Save

It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP. It's gorgeous! The photo below does NOT do it justice!

Save

The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper. I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper. I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.

Isn't this a neat fun fold? And it's so easy too. Watch the video below or click here. It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

Save

I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here. Love these dies!
