Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

January 9, 2023

I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog. It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.

Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.

Save

I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors. I added White & Blushing Bride to it.

Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details. This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!

Save

The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

Save

My measurements are simple:

Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
DSP 2" X 4"
White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week. Stop back in!

Blog issues; so sorry!

October 31, 2022

I'm sorry to say that my blog host, Typepad, has been having issues in the last week. So you may or may not be able to view or receive my blog posts. They haven't said how long the issues may last.

I will communicate as much as I can. Sometimes the site is down fully and I have no way to post anything! Photos seem to be the biggest problem.

Be sure to check my Facebook page or my Instagram for recent posts.

Remember that today is the last day of the Starter Kit special

Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!

October 31, 2022
I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!

These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team. I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all.

Marilyn made this pretty card:

Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White. She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves. This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique.

Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"

Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

Next up is an amazing card by Paula. She made a vertical Pillar card. I've never seen one before.

The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat. Here are the directions she shared with me:

The dimensions are:
- 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
- On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2 6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
- Banish all score lines toward the center
- DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"
It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.

Save

Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket.

The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

So creative and unique!
