Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!


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.

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!  

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" 

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!  

See the Santa's Train bundle here and the Santa Express DSP here. 

Remember some of these items can sell out before the catalog ends.  Already we are out of the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.

  • Love of Leaves; make one cut and get two cards!


    Last week I shared a card featuring the Love of Leaves bundle.  *You can see it below.  Now I'm sharing the other card I made with the inside of the die-cut.  Cut once and make two cards using these stitched leaf dies! 

    The Love of Leaves bundle is going to be a big favorite this fall!  See it here. 

    Details

    • The die-cut is Soft Suede and the card base is Cajun Craze. 
    • The Pretty Peacock designer paper is from the new Magic in the Night Halloween Designer Series paper seen here!  As you can see, it's not just for Halloween!  
    • I also used the new Celebration Label dies seen here; I love the stitched shape of these!  
    • The stamped leaves image is created with the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    Below you'll see the other card I made with the outside or window when I cut the leaf above.

  • Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!


    I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

    Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here. 

    I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.  

    This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly. 

    Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!


    Watch the video below for step by step tutorial on making this pretty card.  Plus I share tons of card ideas for this pretty and versatile stamp set!

  • Life is Beautiful swap with Love of Leaves dies


    Here's another card I made for an online card swap I joined in July.  I have been having so much fun playing with my Life is Beautiful stamp set!  

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Pumpkin Pie; one of my favorite color combo's for Fall.  I added some sponging and a pretty die-cut from the Ornate Frames die seen here.  The Linen thread behind the greeting is simply a big bow. 

    This card is included in my August card kit to go.  The kit includes the Life is Beautiful stamp set AND an 8 cards pre-cut kit. You have through August 20th to get this kit and the pdf tutorial is also included. It's just $28; a steal for a stamp set AND cards kit!   Read all about it here.

    Did you notice the stitching on the bottom of this card?  That's done with the Love of Leaves dies seen here:
