Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!

November 21, 2022

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap. Our theme was fun folds! I know you're going to love seeing their wonderful creations.

Today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Santa Express designer paper. This first is made by Candace. She used the Snowman Magic bundle seen here in the 2022 Holiday Catalog.

Amazing, right?!

It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 envelope.

I'm going to do my best to provide the correct card stock measurements for this:

Shaded Spruce 2 pieces at 4" X 6" score on the long sides at 2" & 5 1/2"; turn and score on the short side at 2". Cut up to the score lines and trim off the extra 1/2" strip.
inside pieces are 1" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" from both ends. The scored ends are folded and adhered to the outer edges of the box inside.

She used 1/4" strips of Window Sheets to hold up the snowflakes and holly. The snowmen, trees and bunny are adhered to the box and inside strips. It's so darn cute!

All of these elements are in the Snowman Magic bundle!

Next is another incredible card made by Brenda; she chose to use the Santa Express designer paper also and added the coordinating Santa's Delivery bundle to hers.

Save

It's a side-step fun fold card. She chose to use Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz for her card base & layers. I love the jumping penguins and that smoke stack!

Save

Here are the measurements:

Card base 5 1/2" X 6" scored in half at 4 1/4". Then make a mark at the 1" and at 6 3/8" at the 3" mark across.
Now you'll cut from those marks down the center of the card.
Next score up to the cut line at 1", 2", 3 1/4" and 6 3/8"

Save

She cut the trains from the Santa Express designer paper using the Santa's Train dies; which coordinate perfectly. The cute penguins & smoke are stamped, colored & die-cut. They're added with 1/4" strips of Window sheets so they pop up and flutter when opened. Just adorable!

Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

August 18, 2020
Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend. The theme was Fall cards.

Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.

Save

You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background. Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry. A unique, Asian inspired card!

Save

Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle. It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half.

The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper. This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.

Save

Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves! Super fun and colorful!

Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!

August 17, 2020
I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card. It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog. there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from.

We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday. It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try! The solid images are perfect for it!

Save

Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf? It's done like this:
- Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
- Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.
- Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies.
I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

Save

Other details:
- White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
- Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".
- Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.
- The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock. Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape!

Stitched Window cards; FB Live Replay

August 14, 2020
This week's Stamp with Me Live video featured a window technique using dies. The 2nd & 4th Monday of the month I offer a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page here. Be sure to follow my page so you get notified!

My original card idea came from the Holiday catalog and used the Love of Leaves dies. But I switched it up to use the Stitched Stars dies with the Playful Patterns designer series paper for these fun cards:

Save

I used the smallest three star dies to create 'windows' in my card stock. Then I popped them up over the Playful Patterns designer paper. Add a greeting and another card stock strip and you're done! So quick & easy!

Watch the video below to catch all of the tips and see the original cards too.

Measurements:
- Card stock for window 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
- Designer Paper 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
- Greeting strips 3/4"-1" X 4" wide
