Save time on finishing the inside of your cards with this trick!

I’m excited to share these stunning snowflake cards with you today. We made them at my card clubs in December.
Living in North Dakota, we usually see a lot of snow in the winter so these cards are great for many occasions.

I used the Snowflake Kisses bundle seen here. It’s filled with wonderful greeting images and lots of snowflake dies.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Cloud Cover and Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia. I think blues & purples are perfect for snowflakes. We used a blending brush to add more color to the large snowflake die-cut.

After creating the cards above I thought I’d try combining the colors on the large die-cut.

Isn’t that pretty? I just love combining Gorgeous Grape with Pretty Peacock on the Fresh Freesia die-cut. Blending Brushes make this a breeze!

Look how we finished the inside.

I wanted to add snowflakes to the inside of the card but didn’t want to die-cut tons of them for my club gals. So I came up with creating a snowflake stencil.
I cut multiple snowflakes from a piece of card stock and we used Blending Brushes to add pretty snowflakes to our White layer. I truly love the effect it gives.

See how this card is made in the video below. I also shared a second Snowflake Kisses fun fold card.

• Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

  June 15, 2023

  ---

  Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

  Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

  Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

  She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

  The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

  I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

  And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

  She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

  It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

• Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!

  June 14, 2023

  Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies.  Look at these gorgeous cards! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide.  Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.

  The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog.  The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky!  Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green.  Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards. 

  You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

• Lasting Joy card swaps

  June 13, 2023

  ---

  Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

  This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

  Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

  This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.

  Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.
