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!

Save

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.

Measurements:

• White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right

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.

• More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

  March 20, 2025

  ---

  I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

  Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

  First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

  Save

  She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

  Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

  Save

  Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.  

  Save

  Just gorgeous Paula!!

  And look at the incredible card Jacki made!  

  Save

  She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder.  Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look. 

  Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

  Save

  She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils.  Beautifully done!  

  I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

• Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

  March 19, 2025

  ---

  This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

  First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

  Save

  She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

  Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

  Save

  She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

  Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

  Save

  She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

  Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

  Save

  Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

  Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

  More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

• Corner DSP pop up fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

  March 18, 2025

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's video and am happy to share it with you here today.  I also have a free project sheet below too. 

  It features the Lovely Garden designer paper seen online here.  

  Save

  My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies. 

  I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.  

  Save

  The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here.  I love these!  I bet they'll sell fast!

  Save

  I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

  Save

  Here's the template for the DSP part of this card.  My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me. 

  Save

  In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides.  Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines.  Watch the video below to understand this.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and another unique fun fold using the Lovely Garden designer series paper.
