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


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. 

Oct Candy Country Wreath

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:

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect


    What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

    Thoughtful Journey with Country Woods

    The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

    Products used:

    • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
    • Country Woods designer paper
    • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
    • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
    • Unbounded Love stamp set

    I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

  • Unbounded Beauty card; an easy layout you’ll love to copy!


    I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online.

    My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

    The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

    Measurements: 

    • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
    • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

    If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.

  • Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack


    I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base. 

    M & More fun fold card

    I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half.  Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up. 

    Thoughtful Journey M & More

    The size of these pieces do not matter at all.  Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces.  It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card.  See how it's done in this video. 

    Thoughtful Journey M & More fun fold
    You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly.  They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.  

    I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

    You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here.  It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page.  I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.

    Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
