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:

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    Delicate Dahlias poppin Pastels

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!

  • Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

    As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.

    The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

    See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

  • Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps


    We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

    The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

    Aug Tracey Feels Like Home

    It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

    Details:

    • Stacked Stone background stamp
    • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
    • Champagne rhinestones

    Feels Like Home

    This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  

    Feels Like Home swap

    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

    Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

    I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

    This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.
