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.

  • Holiday Catalog sneak peak video; the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks for gorgeous sunflowers!


    Look at these beautiful sunflowers! 

    Can you tell that they're not stamped? I used a brand new set of decorative masks called Abundant Beauty, from the upcoming 2023 Holiday mini catalog.  It's a set of 7 masks including 4 for the sunflowers, snowflakes, houndstooth and falling leaves.

    I used sponge daubers and the following colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Pecan Pie.  



    After I added the images I textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Then added a bit more Crushed Curry ink around the edges. 

    I shared how to make this card step-by-step in the video seen here.   

    The greeting is from a brand new FABULOUS greeting set called So Sincere (from the upcoming Holiday catalog).  It's incredible; you're all going to want it.  It's on a die-cut from a new Autumn Leaves die set.  I added a bit of the Natural Wavy trim to the bottom of the greeting piece.

  • Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!


    I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago.  I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.  

    I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here.  It's all Pretty Peacock and white! 

    There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink. 

    After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds. 

    Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.  

    This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings. 

    You can see how this is made in the video here or click on the photo below to see it as well. I also share three other cards too.

  • Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial


    I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

    It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

    I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

    Supplies:

    • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
    • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
    • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
    • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
    • Gorgeous Garden dies
    • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
    • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
    • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
    • Blending Brushes

    Double-decker card measurements:

    • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
    • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
    • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
    • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

    Here are both cards shown in the video below. 

    See the Gorgeous Garden dies here. 

    I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.
