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.

Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

May 7, 2021
With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees. I love this effect with a 'naked' tree! It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.

Other details:
- The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock. I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily.
- The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
- The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.
You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here. It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!

Pansy Petals cards kit to go; pretty & spring-like!

May 6, 2021
The new Pansy Petals designer paper is so pretty it was easy to create beautiful, eye catching cards with it.

Here are a few reasons why I love this new Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper:
- It has three different sheets of gingham; all in the new In Colors
- There are full sheets filled with life-like pansies and pretty leaves
- The pansy dies coordinate with these flowers and leaves! No fussy cutting if you have them.
- It features each of the 5 beautiful, new In Colors!!
Anyway; this pre-cut kit to go is available through May May 18th. There is also a pdf tutorial available.

This kit includes the following:
- 1/2 pkg of Pansy Petals DSP (6" X 12")
- 2021-23 In Color jewels
- Soft Succulent ribbon
- 10 pre-cut cards; 3 of the 5 designs are fancy folds!
- the PDF tutorial including measurements, photos, supply list & step by step directions
The kit does not include pre-stamped images, adhesive or stamps. I used the Pansy Patch bundle for greetings and the dies to cut out the flowers & leaves from the DSP. You can also fussy cut them if you choose to.

*This kit will likely be mailed in early June due to a back-order on the In Color jewels.

Go here to order the kit to go.

Click here to purchase the PDF tutorial.

The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.
