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.

Save

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!

Save

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!

Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021
I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you. This background is called the Bokeh technique.

Save

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it! I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
  White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
  White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"
Save

I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots. You can see the video below. It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too.

Save

Here is the video; I hope you watch it. This technique is so fun and unique every single time! Think of the colors you could use!

Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

March 26, 2021

Need a quick project for Easter? Or May Day? Or to make something fun with a child? This is it!

Save

I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!

Start out with a square of paper. I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set. I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.

I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides. Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket. Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

Save

For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper. Unfortunately this paper is sold out now. They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out! I'm so sorry about that.

Save

The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats!

You can see the video here. It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.

On last week Tuesday's FB live I created a bunch of projects featuring the Circle Celebration stamp set in the Spring catalog. You can see it here.

Save

The Triple Time Stamping technique is when you stamp on three pieces of card stock all at once. I layered just the White pieces in place and adhere them together slightly. This holds them in place while stamping with the fun circle images.

Then you adhere them to the larger Navy card stock pieces. Watch the video below to catch my tips. It's the first project of three in the video.

I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Best Year stamp set for the greeting with a few loops of Daffodil Ruched ribbon.

Save

The colors in the card above are Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate. It is my Creative Card Color Combo last week.
