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.

  Jonna B made this gorgeous card for our last Flowerbug's Team card swap. She chose to use the Peaceful Moments bundle along with the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper.  Isn't it pretty?

• Peaceful Moments in pastel colors

  January 30, 2020

  ---

  Yesterday I shared a bright and colorful card featuring the Peaceful Moments bundle.  Today I have a soft and pastel card; totally different in colors and style but using the same bundle.

  Save

  Candace B made this one for our Flowerbug's Team swap.  She chose to use Blushing Bride with Soft Sea Foam, White and Old Olive.  Just gorgeous in a totally different way. 

  • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Blushing Bride is 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" 
  • Soft Sea Foam is 5" X 3 3/4"

  She sponged the large petals with Blushing Bride.  I just love that little bud at the top of the leaves.  It's one of the dies in the Poppy Moments set.  You can see the bundle here.

• Witty-Cisms Fun-Fold card

  January 29, 2020

  ---

  The Witty-Cisms stamp set is a great all occasions set with fun images and cute greetings to match.  See it here. I created this cute card for a recent online card swap.

  Save

  It's a fun fold card with a double opening.  The Real Red flap is scored and the scored edge is adhered under the inside White layer.  The Granny Apple Green main card is standard size but 1" is cut off the right edge to reveal the White inside.  The new Coastal Weave embossing folder was used on the front.  This embossing folder is the one I'm giving to all online orders over $65 in January.  

  Sometimes with this type of fold I add the designer paper to the inside right edge so it shows from the front. This time I added it to the very front along with a stitched scalloped edge piece die-cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  

  Here are the measurements:

  • Granny Apple Green main card 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Real Red 4" X 2 1/2"
  • Black 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"
  • 1" X 5 1/2" Granny Apple Green gingham DSP; *from the Brights 6 X 6" DSP pack seen here. 

  And more details: 

  • I added a butterfly die-cut from the upcoming Nature's Thoughts dies.  They'll be available in February in the Coordination Product Release.
  • I stamped the main image three times; once on the White punch and again on Real Red for the strawberry and again on scraps of Green. These are cut out and popped up on the main image.
  • White label is the new Label Me Lovely punch seen here.  I love this new punch!  A 1 3/4" circle punch fits inside it for layering. And oval shapes do as well!
