Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s


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. 

Oct Candy Country Wreath

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:

  • Quick All Aflutter card with the Extraordinary Washi tape


    Here’s a sweet card made with both the All Aflutter bundle and the Extraordinary Washi tape:

    My colors include Calypso Coral, Old Olive and White. The Arches dies used in White here give a wonderful focal point to highlight the butterflies, greeting and flowers from the Washi tape. Unfortunately they are out of stock currently; but see them here and put your email in to get notified when they’re back in stock.

    The background texture on the Old Olive layer is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder. This folder is super popular and out of stock right now. Again, please add your email to be notified when it’s available.

    I love the Extraordinary Washi tape with coordinating die. You can cut out lots of colored flowers and leaves with ONE CUT! I save the extras to use them when I need just a little something extra. See the Washi tape here (you get 10 yards!) and the coordinating die-cut here. There’s also a bundle you can get here; it includes both the stamps and die-cut.

    It’s simple to use this washi tape! Start by adhering a strip of it to white card stock (vellum or window sheet also works). Then use the die-cut to cut all of the pieces out.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it out.

    See the All Aflutter bundle here.

    There’s also a video tutorial for this card and another sweet All Aflutter fun fold card. See it below.

  • All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video


    This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

    My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

    • All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
    • Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
    • Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
    • Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
    • 1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
    • Blending Brushes
    • a sanding block

    The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

    There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

    You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

    And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

    After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

    You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

    I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.
