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.

  • Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold


    Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October.  Our theme was winter or Christmas. 

    First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene! 

    She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here.  She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder. 

    She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees!  It's so pretty and real looking!

    Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey.  You might think she used designer paper here….. 

    It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

    She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes.  Simply gorgeous!

    The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. 

    Measurements of the layers are as follows:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
    • Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
    • Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

    Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita. 

    She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees.  The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base.  It's a neat fold! 

    Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2". 

    Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap.  My gals are super talented!!

  • A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet


    I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.  

    It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month.  The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here.  It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set. 

    You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it.  Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

    My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.  After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders. 

    That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here.  It's currently in low inventory though.  

    We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color. 

    Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too.  I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.
