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.

Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

February 25, 2021

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper. It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!

Playing with strips has always been fun for me. On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long. Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between. I didn't worry about the edges at all. After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper. I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!

February 24, 2021

The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper. Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too. My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar. It's so cool!

You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set. I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images. For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers. Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.

This card is so neat! But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.

Next is a fun card with a neat masking tip using the leaves in this set. I stamped them in a 'round' to create a loose wreath.

I chose to use the Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay papers and inks here. Watch the video below to catch my matching tip to connect the four stamped leaf images perfectly.

Click on the video below to see how I made these and one more Fun Fold card!

A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

February 24, 2021
We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs! I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile! There was an option for everyone's needs.

I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set. You can see it here.

Aren't they pretty?! I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly. The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though. You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th. Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.

Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.

I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too. That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here.

Measurements:
- Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” score at 1 ½” and 4 ¼”
- Designer Paper – 5 1/2" X 6". Cut in order from left to right so the pattern matches making sure the 6" side is along the top. 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”, 1 1/8” X 5 ¼”, 2 1/8” X 5 ¼”. Plus the last piece on the right is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- White inside 2 3/4" X 3 1/2", die-cut is 2" X 3 3/4"
- Black strip 1" X 2 3/4"
