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.

Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!

June 10, 2022
I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week. I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.

I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday:

I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies. I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.

The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last. BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off! See them here. It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long. I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.

I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card:

I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card. I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.

Easy Kite Delight Fun Fold card with video & measurements

June 9, 2022
I cannot believe I forgot to share this neat card! We made it at my April card clubs; it's a fun fold featuring the Kite Delight stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper.

This stamp set is on the Last Chance list and is on sale at just $12.60 instead of $18.

The color combination includes Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Black & White. The kites are colored in with Blends markers and the Cloud Punch adds a fun detail for the greeting banner.

Here's how it opens up to reveal the other side of your double sided designer paper. The Pattern Party DSP is retired now; it was in the annual catalog and free for hosts.

As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit. I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.

Measurements:
- Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", layer 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
  • DSP 4" X 10 3/4" scored at 3" & 8 1/4"
  • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5"
  • Yellow greeting strip 3/4" X 3 3/4"
I shared this card during last week's FB Live. Watch it here and see all three Kite Delight cards I made.

Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

June 8, 2022
Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month. See yesterday's cards here.

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"
Here are some wonderful samples from Stampin' Up! with this unique bundle. See it here; but don't forget that the dies are sold separately at 50% off right now.
