Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Forever Friends kit; a beautiful set of foil accented cards & envelopes

  May 26, 2023

  ---

  Two weeks ago I had time to create at a stamping get together at our church.  I took 3 kits and make them in about an hour and a half.  Stress free and fun!  I love using our kits because I have everything I need to make the cards; I simply need adhesives and a bone folder.!

  Here's the start of my 9 cards.

  Save

  And here are the finished cards!  I did change up the greetings because I needed a bunch of thank you cards.  I kept the kit mostly as is since they were so pretty as designed.  

  This kit is called Forever Friends and can be seen here.  It's $21 and includes everything you need to create 9 cards with coordinating envelopes like stamps, a block, ink, embellishments & more.  

  Save

  It's just one of our many kit available in our Kit Collection online.  

  Each kit includes pre-cut pieces and printed images. Some kits include stamps, ink and a block. Others do not and are ready to finish without any stamping.  You can choose what fits your needs.  

  Below is a snapshot of some of the kits in our collection.  They are available from one year; but supplies can run out within that year. But they'll restock them once they do for up to that year.  See them all here.

  Have a wonderful Memorial weekend!

• Beautiful Balloons card swaps

  May 25, 2023

  ---

  This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  

  This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold. 

  Save

  She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card.  The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.  

  More details:

  • Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel. 
  • The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
  • The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.

  Save

  Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here.  It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies.

  Next is another simple fun fold made by Lori.  Her colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel & a bit of Berry Burst.

  • Lemon Lime Twist card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
