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.

There are some wonderful new products out this month; just in time to take advantage of Sale-a-Bration too! Here's an update for you.

The All Together collection includes a new stamp & dies bundle, fabulous Black & White 6 X 6" designer series paper and a new set of flesh toned blends. Click here to see it all.

I'm featuring this fun Black & White designer paper in one of my February kits to go. Get it by February 15th. Click here for details.

Here's a video for you:

In the photo below I colored one of the sheets of the All Together DSP with the 3 lightest set of the new Blends plus the Ivory too. I think these are also great for coloring animals or when you need a neutral color tone.

Next is a brand new All Inclusive crafting kit called the Celebrate Today Magnet Board.

It's a 12 X 12" frame you can customize for your needs to organize daily tasks and sentiments of positive affirmations. See it here.
- Includes sticker sheets, double-sided cards, and double-sided paper to decorate with

My Sale-a-Bration & New Catalog open house displays

February 9, 2022

I don't think I shared my displays & boards from my January New Catalog Open House yet!

Some are my own cards but many of these projects are swaps I received.

First is my 2022 Sale-a-Bration display table.

This first board features half of the Sale-a-Bration offerings including the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP, the Driving By stamp set, Catching Butterflies stamp set, Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP and the Island Vibes stamp set.

See all of our 2022 Sale-a-Bration products here. Remember you can get these items FREE with each $50-100 you order from Stampin' Up! in February.

This next board and display features the Friendly Hello bundle, Daffodil Afternoon 12 X 12" DSP, the Calming Camellia host stamp set and more Sunshine & Rainbows & Driving by samples.

Next is a wall of displays of the 2022 January-June catalog; especially the designer papers & the Heart & Home bundle. So many beautiful cards & samples!

And here is a close-up of the Sweet Talk 12 X 12" DSP along with a few cards too.

And lastly is a group of projects featuring the In The Moment, Wildlife Wonder & Flowing Flowers stamp sets, the Daffodil Daydream and Cactus Cuties bundles and many of our newest punches too.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my displays. I change up which are up in my studio every few months. My customers enjoy looking at these project ideas when they're here.

The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

February 8, 2022
I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

Please watch the video to see how to do this. Here are some tips:
- I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
- Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
- If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink.
- I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.
- You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.
I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.

The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

Here's the video! Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.
