Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

October 28, 2022

This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event. I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!

Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle.

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake.

Details:

It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.
She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle.

A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card. Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2".

The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square. Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square.

She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow. She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.

Here's her inside view:

Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.

Frosted Forest silhouette card – so pretty! Free project sheet too

October 1, 2024

I'm sharing a gorgeous wintery card that I made on last week's video. I saw a few similar cards online and knew you'd like to see how to make them.

It's in Navy & White with a clean, crisp feel to it. Perfect for wintertime or the holidays. I shared how to assemble this in the video here or scroll down to see it below. It's a little tricky to get the pieces in place before adhering to the card base.

The trees die is from the Frosted Forest dies seen here. It's part of a bundle with stamps, dies & stencils seen here.

The greetings and greeting die-cut are from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here. I love this bundle!

It's hard to see the texture on the White but I used the Snowflake Sky embossing folder on it. The ribbon is our sheer Navy & Gold glittered ribbon in the Annual catalog.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and three more! I share a weekly Live video each Tuesday morning on my Facebook page here. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Unique Frosted Forest bundle shown multiple ways! Free project sheet & video too

September 30, 2024

On last week's Live video I shared multiple ways to use the Frosted Forest bundle. Here are two of the cards I made.

I used Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce here. I stamped the outline of the trees in Shaded Spruce and then added color by using the coordinating stencils with ink and blending brushes. (Pecan Pie ink is used on the tree trunk).

Here is an example of the dies with a few coordinating stamps & stencils.

See this special stamp, dies & stencil bundle here.

I hope you watch the video here or below to see the many ways to create with it. I share a unique way to add extra detail to the large tree. It gives an easy 'leafy' texture.

A layered banner greeting across the bottom finished it off nicely. The birds are also included in the bundle. I used Pecan Pie to stamp them and then a blender pen to spread the ink a bit.

Here's the free project sheet for these two cards; click on the following link to download or print it: Download Frosted Forest 2 trees cards

I think the combination of these two colors for these pine trees works wonderfully.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more! Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.
