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!

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!  

November Brenda 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" 

November Santa Express Brenda 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!

  • Coloring Techniques with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder! With video!

    Have you ever added color/ink directly onto your embossing folder?  It's actually fun and the results can be amazing!  I shared three different techniques on my weekly FB Live Tuesday.  Here's a link to it on my FB page or on YouTube here.  Or scroll below to see it here.  

    This first card is done by coloring on your folder with markers.  These are regular water-based markers; not Blends.  I share tips for success on this technique in the video.  

    Each card features the stamp set Create with Friends seen here.  I love this set! The embossing folder is called Pretty Flowers; it's my free gift for online orders over $50 in June! *see it here

    Pretty Embossing Folder markers Save

    I chose to use Soft Succulent on both cards adding Pale Papaya on the left and Fresh Freesia on the right.  Love our newest In Colors!!!  The greeting layer is from the Tasteful Label dies.

    Next is a sponging technique.  I embossed the White CS with the folder in the die-cutting machine first.  Then used sponge daubers to color the White CS.  I highly recommend you use pastel colors for this for the best results. It's much more forgiving!

    I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

    And the last technique is to add ink directly onto the folder itself; before you run it through.  Press your ink pad lightly to the side of the folder you want inked.  Do this lightly to avoid getting ink in the recesses of the folder.  Again; watch my video for more tips!

    The pretty die-cut for the greeting is from the Potted Succulent dies seen here.

  • In Symmetry Fun-fold card with video

    I played with the In Symmetry bundle on last week's Facebook Live and wanted to share this neat fun fold card.  I got the idea for it from my good friend Susie Wood.  Here's a link to her card. 

    It's a standard A2 size card but the unique fold makes it special.  The nice thing is how easy it is to make!  And it really showcases the designer paper and Pretty Flowers embossing folder I used.

    I chose the Navy, Calypso Coral and Bumblebee color combination because of the colors in the Sweet Symmetry DSP seen here.  The cute Navy leaves are from the Symmetrical Stems punch. I fussy cut the flower.
