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.

Easy but adorable Hello Ladybug Cards Kit to go

February 1, 2022
My Flowerbug's and I held a Zoom meeting last week and we all made versions of my Easy 8 Card Wonder. I chose to use the Hello Ladybug stamp set for mine.

My colors are Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Black. My Easy 8 Card Wonder template takes the guesswork our of creating.

Here is how I prepped for the Zoom. I chose my colors, printed the template on White CS, grabbed my card stock & bags of scraps and stamped a few greeting tags.

I loved the cards so much I'm offering them as a kit to go in February.  One Sheet Wonders truly make it easy to create beautiful cards quickly.

This kit is $38 with shipping & includes the following:
- the Hello Ladybug photopolymer stamp set
- the printed OSW template on 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock (cut on the printed lines!)
- all pre-cut & punched pieces for the 8 finished cards
- the PDF tutorial ($15 value)
It does not include stamped images or textured CS. You will need inks, adhesives, gems & a paper trimmer to finish them.

Optional add-ons:

Add the Ladybug Punch to your kit and save 10% ($54 with punch). If you add on another $20 in product you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice!

Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea

January 31, 2022
I love these Easel calendars; they're a great gift and actually fun to make too. I was inspired by my friend Melissa's project; see it here.

Easel Calendar card measurements
- Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
- Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
- DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
- Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side. On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”
Here are some details:
- The unique scallop edges & cute tag are both made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle.
- The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Supple Shimmer specialty paper and the other from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP/ It's free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.
- The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
- The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo
- The calendars were purchased from Taylored Expressions.
Here are the other two I shared using the Friendly Hello bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion:

Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper. You can go soft or bold with it!

On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here. I think they coordinate wonderfully.

*I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow!

This Easel Calendar is the second project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

Easel Calendar with a post it box; made by Melissa

January 29, 2022
I LOVE sharing what my friends make. Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.

She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year! She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!

She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog. I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators!

This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order. I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets with fun, colorful patterns on one side & Black & White on the other. It's my favorite DSP in the whole book!

Measurements are below. Or watch the video here.

Easel Calendar card measurements
- Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
- Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
- DSP 4” X 5 ¼”
- Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side. On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”. *Wrap it with DSP if desired.
