Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

Details & tips:

  • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
  • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
  • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
  • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. 

Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.

  • Amazing Flowerbug Team swaps!


    This week and next I'll be sharing a bunch of recent card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's. 

    The first card is made by Annette with the set called From All of Us on page 93 of the annual catalog.  She used Blends markers to color the image in.  

    Her colors are Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  The card above was for last month and the one below was for July; both made by Annette.   

    This next card is a unique origami fold.  I shared the 'how to' and video on this post here.  I was grateful to Annette for demonstrating it at our last Team meeting.  So easy and it sure highlights the main image! 

    I LOVE the sign hanging on the cording!!

    This card is made with the new Cinnamon Cider; one of our newest In Colors.  She stamped the background tone-on-tone and the origami piece is made using the 6 X 6" 2020-22 In Color DSP.  The stamp set is Back on Your Feet on page 92 of the Annual catalog. 

    Stay tuned for more fabulous swaps tomorrow!

  • Origami card fold with Flowers for Every Season with video


    Here's another card I made on FB live last week using the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper.  It's an origami fold that creates a perfect place for your stamped image in the center. 

    It starts out with a 4 1/4" piece of designer series paper and you place it on a score board on the diagonal so the points are at 3" on the top and the left.  You can do this with a paper cutter too.  See here or watch the video below: 

    Then you score at 1" and 1 1/2".  Rotate it and do this on all sides.  Fold as shown.  

    The stamped White layer inside is 2 7/8" square.  

    Below is the video for this card and another pretty one made with the Fancy Phrases stamp set.
