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.

Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

July 2, 2024

Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle. I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here. I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. *Click on each title to see them in my store.

The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here. I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints. *my free tutorial of the month features this suite! See below.

The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side.

All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut.

I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.
