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.

Happy Halloween!

I shared these neat cards on last week's video. This layout truly shows off both sides of your double-sided designer paper!

I made the Trick or Treat card before the video and the Winter Wishes card during the video that you can watch here.

Trick or Treat card details:
- Them bones designer paper seen here
- Greeting is from Throughout the Year set (2023 Holiday catalog)
- Greeting die-cuts are from the Nested Essential dies
- Black & White Gingham ribbon
Here's the inside view. I chose the Pick of the Patch stamp set here. I love the look of the designer paper in the inside of the card!

Here is the other card I shared:

This card shows off the Magical Meadow bundle in the greeting and pretty die-cuts.

Details:
- Winter Meadow designer paper seen here – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
- Mossy Meadow, Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock plus Adhesive-backed silver glimmer paper for the pretty foliage die-cut
Here's the inside view; stamped with the Magical Meadow stamp set.

The Magical Meadow bundle has been one of my favorites this season. I seem to reach for it often. See it here.

Here is the video for these neat cards. You'll also find another fun fold card and a quick treat bag too!

Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!

October 30, 2023

If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet.

It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall. The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top. A nice size!

The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper. It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.

I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.

Below is a photo of it open. I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip.

Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here.

The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November.

Click here to watch the video you can watch to see this and two fun fold cards as well.
