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.

Summer can be a quiet month for stampers in the north – we finally get a chance to enjoy the outdoors without snow. But I imagine in the south it's time to gather indoors! Isn't our world wonderfully diverse?

Greetings of the Season fun fold card with video & free project sheet

July 16, 2024

I'm loving the new Season of Green & Gold suite of projects that was released in the Online Exclusives this month. Check them all out here. There are tons of online extras that are not seen in any printed catalog.

Today's card is gorgeous if I do say so myself! It features the new Greetings of the Season stamp & die bundle and this gorgeous Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper.

The card is a simple fold back with an extra layer added for the designer paper. It also has a textured layer on the left front fold as well. Lots of great but simple additions that puts it over the top.

Look at the greeting here: The new Greetings of the Season stamp set is loaded with stand alone and builder sentiments.

The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here.

The stamp set is fabulous but look at the dies! Each one has a hole for ribbon or twine. But look at the sample above; they didn't use them at all.

I shared two versions in my video; one with a gold printed piece of DSP on the front and the other with a striped one. Which do you prefer?

There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects.

Here's a photo of this beautiful designer paper; I will be featuring it in an upcoming kit to go.

Below is the video for this card and an easy Dutch Door fold card; both using this beautiful Season of Green & Gold suite collection seen here.

Bonus Days are a Win Win!!

Season of Green & Gold Dutch Door card with free project sheet

July 15, 2024

I shared this pretty Dutch Door card on last week's FB Live video. You can also see it here or scroll down a bit and click on the video.

Today's card is a Dutch Door card fold made with Mossy Meadow & White CS.

If you've never made a Dutch Door fold I hope you try it once you see how easy they are. It's a quarter sheet of CS in the back and a full long piece that's scored in half adhered to that. See how it opens?

The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here.

Below are both versions I made and shared in the video below. One has a layer of the pretty Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP on the upper portion. Which do you prefer?

There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects. The squares are dies from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.
