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.

NEW! Flowers of Friendship card

April 30, 2021
I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in. I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black. What do you think?

The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here. It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here. I did color the image in with Blends markers.

There are three new products I want to point out here:
1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge? That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList
2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog. It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party. You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150. It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white. I think they made this pack just for me! It's my new favorite!!!
3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut. It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166. It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!

More Sponging techniques from the Flowerbug’s

April 29, 2021

Here are the second set of cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our April card swap. The theme was to use a sponging technique:

Candace made this one using a very soft sponging on just part of the card around the Whale. She used the Whale Done bundle here. It's a bundle now in the current Stampin' Up! catalog and will carry over into our new 2021 Annual Catalog. But it will no longer be a bundle at 10%. You can see it here.

She stamped and die-cut the leaves from the Forever Fern bundle seen here.

Next is a neat card made by Karen. She used a masking technique to get that unique stamped & sponged strip across the card.

She tore a length of sticky notes and pressed onto the White card stock; on top and on bottom. She stamped and sponged on the exposed area. Very cool! The stamp set is called Enjoy the Moment seen here.

The designer paper is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley seen here. Her card base is Misty Moonlight.

Next card is made by Paula. She used the Positive Thoughts stamp set seen here. She made the sponged center of her card a beautiful centerpiece. To get the center she die-cut a circle from another piece of paper and sponged and stamped in the center. I believe she used Pacific Point and Mint Macaron ink.

I'll share more amazing cards made by my talented Flowerbugs soon!

NEW project ideas & video with our fabulous 2021-23 In Colors!!!

April 28, 2021
I created three pretty cards with our new 2021-23 In Colors for yesterday's FB Live. I used three new stamp sets from the 2021 Annual Catalog. Everyone can order from it next week Tuesday, May 4th!

I cannot say it enough; I LOVE OUR NEW IN COLORS!! They're all gorgeous, unique and will fit in with our current colors beautifully!

Here is one of the cards I made on my Live video yesterday.

This card features a few new products:
- The stamp set is called Quite Meadow
- Dies are Scalloped Contour for both the Scalloped rectangle & scalloped strips
- Ink and card stock – Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen and Polished Pink
Here's another fun card I made with these gorgeous In Colors featuring a sponging technique:

I used the Color & Contour stamp set and all 5 In Colors as well. I used sticky post-it notes to mask off areas as I sponged and stamped each area. Watch the video below to catch the tips on this technique.
