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.

Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

March 8, 2023
We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green. You can sure see the texture in the photo above. Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? It's super cool and saves a step.

I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into. Or seal it up; your choice.

Card measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4" & 9 1/2"
- White 4" X 3 1/2" for textured front, stamped front panel is 2 7/8" X 4", inside is 4" X 3 1/2"
- Granny Apple Green 3" X 4 1/8"
- Pale Papaya strip 4 1/4" X 3/4"
- Dandy Designs DSP 4" X 1 1/4"

Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

March 7, 2023

In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Every card I make with this set is my favorite! How can that be?

Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green. So fresh and spring-like.

The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here.

The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

What is a Hybrid embossing folder? It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well. But using the die & folder together eliminates a step. I show how it's done in the video here.

There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one. So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.

I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it! Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.

The Hello, Irresistible card kit to go is here!

March 6, 2023

I had to use the new Hello, Irresistible designer paper for my March card kit to go. It's absolutely gorgeous with fresh spring colors plus deep, rich tones too.

The colors include Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam.

*Did you see that Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock are included? Stampin' Up! shared that we ARE getting a Color Refresh with the new Annual Catalog in May. We'll know which colors are retiring on March 29th.

4 of the 5 designs are fun folds in this kit including an explosion and a shaker card. It was difficult to get a good photo. But they are gorgeous in real life!

This pre-cut kit to go includes the 10 pre-cut cards & all elements, 1/2 pkg. of the new Hello, Irresistible DSP, a share of White Glittered ribbon and In Color Opal Rounds. The PDF tutorial is free! That's $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Reserve your kit to go here.   *This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.

Or choose the PDF only for $15 here.

Be sure to opt in by March 19th to get this kit to go. The PDF will be emailed to you immediately after payment from my Shopify site. The pre-cut card kit & products will be delayed due to the DSP is out of stock. It will be sent to you in early April.

You will need a paper trimmer (to cut your new DSP), adhesives, greeting images and a few ink pads. I used the Irresistible Blooms stamp set for greetings but you can substitute others if needed.

Add on the Irresistible Blooms stamp set or bundle at 10% off! Message me here for that option and I'll send you an invoice for it all.

I have another new kit to go available in March – the Rain or Shine fun fold card kit. See that here.   Get both and save $$.*Add on any other card kit with it and save on shipping costs! Go here to see them all.
