Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

December 16, 2020

I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live. You can see the video below but here are the projects:

I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS. This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off! See it here.

This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it. I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above. Measurements below:

Easy Christmas card

Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”

Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn. She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last! See them here.

Celebration Labels Treat box

Use the largest 2 dies. Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge

Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat. I love making these since they're so quick & easy.

Santa Pull Up Treat

Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it. Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other. That one is a lot quicker.

Lastly is a sweet snowman tag.

It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top. I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies. I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile.

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

Save

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

Save

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video

January 9, 2020
This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards. I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video)

If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
