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.

Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!

December 30, 2020
Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'. I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night. I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below.

It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change. One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.

You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion. It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.

Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below. Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

Tips:
- This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words.
- Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns. It's fun to mix & match them.
Watch the video below to see how and get some creative tips:

New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card

December 29, 2020
I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog. This pretty fun fold card was one of them. I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.

The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards! Perfect inking and placement each time.

See that greeting & layered ovals? We have a new DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH!!! I'm so excited about this one. I've missed out oval punches so much and now both are in one!

See the measurements below.

Supplies:
- Stamps – Vine Design (2021 Spring Catalog)
- Ink – Old Olive, Navy, Seaside Spray
- CS - Old Olive, Navy, Seaside Spray, Whisper White
- Other – Double Oval Punch, Detailed Trio Punch, Well Suited Twine combo pack, Rhinestones, dimensionals, Mini glue dots
Measurements:
- Old Olive 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- Night of Navy 2 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Whisper White 3 7/8" X 2 3/4", inside is 2" X 3 3/4"
- Seaside Spray 4 1/8" X 3"

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets. The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor.

Measurements:
- Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Neutral (White or Vanilla) is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Greeting strip is 1/2" X 5"
- Circles are the largest three stitched circle dies 1 3/4", 2 3/8" & 2 7/8"
