String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!


I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video.  It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book.  Yes; a phone book!  Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.  

And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!  

You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines.  I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.  

I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.  

*Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out.  Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list! 

Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack. 

You really need to watch this technique in action.  It's so much easier than to try to explain it.  

Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.

  • Beautiful Traditions of Christmas kit to go or tutorial; reserve yours soon


    One of my October kits to go & tutorials features the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas designer paper. Each card is a fun fold too!

    I love the floral and traditional patterns in this pack of specialty paper. It has gold foil accents and a wonderful variety of colors.

    You can choose between the pre-cut kit to go or the PDF tutorial. The kit includes almost $20 in Stampin’ Up! products AND the pre-cut cards too. The product includes 1/2 pkg of the DSP, a share of Sparkly Sequins and Olive linen thread.

    I include the die-cuts & punched pieces too. Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper share which is 6″ X 12″ – or one half package. You will need your own inks and greeting sentiments plus adhesives of course.

    Opt in for the pre-cut kit to go here for $31.

    Or the PDF tutorial here. The tutorial and exclusive video will be emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step instructions.

    Remember that there are two more kit to go options in October; I’ll share them here in the next few days. Or to see them please go to my shop at www.flowerbugshop.com You’ll save money on shipping when you purchase more than one kit.

  • I finished the Handmade & Heartfelt kit; it’s so cool!


    I played with this fun kit yesterday and made 13 cards! This neat card kit is discounted through today only. It would make a fabulous gift or enjoy it for yourself. see it here

    It’s a 10 card kit with envelopes, a stamp set, a storage box, ink spot and more. I added a few extra card bases and got an extra 3 cards from it.
    Here are my bonus cards:

    See the lower right card? I used the template from the lower left card to sponge Secret Sea ink through the holes to create the starburst pattern. When I did this I did it on the back side so I could still use it on the ‘thanks’ card.

    Below are a few more cards I changed up from the original plan. It’s so fun to do this. Even though it’s a pre-planned card kit I love adding my own spin on them.

    The cards, envelopes, stamp set etc all fit in the organizer box that’s includes. What a great way to store your cards! See this kit here.

  • Artistic Leaves with Gathering Together with an easy card sketch plan


    Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. I wanted to feature a card sketch my Flowerbug’s are currently using.

    Besides the Artistic Leaves stamp set I also used the Gathering Moments bundle and the Gathering Together specialty designer paper with this sketch:

    You might wonder what a sketch is… It’s a layout of boxes or shapes to indicate where you might add layers such as card stock, designer paper, punches or die-cuts.

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Gold and Vanilla.

    Here’s the sketch if you want to save it for an idea. I truly believe card sketches are a fabulous way to get inspiration when creating. Remember that a sketch is just the beginning; you can change it up in any way depending on what products you’re using.

    The measurements are also include in the free project sheet I created. Click here to download or print it.

    I hope you watch the video below to catch the tips and also to see the other beautiful autumn leaf card.
