Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

Save

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either. 

Save

Measurements:

• Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right. 
• White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
• DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

You can see the Thoughtful Wishes bundle here. It's on sale now – 20% off in June! 

Save

The pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now but should be back around June 24th.

Next is a unique fun fold card I haven't seen before.  

Save

She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The right side flap folds in towards the center. 

Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside.  So pretty!!

Measurements:

• Petunia Pop card base 7 3/8" X 5 1/2" scored at 1" and 4 1/4". 
• DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2" 
• White inside 3" X 5 1/4" 

Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene. 

Save

Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!

• More Team Swaps include multiple ‘WOW’ cards!

  August 18, 2022

  ---

  Every month our Flowerbug's Team has an optional card swap and I always think it's the best group of cards ever.  Then another month comes and they get even better!  How is it possible?!  

  This first card today features the Brightest Beauty bundle seen here.  It's in our Holiday catalog and has been on my wish list for awhile.  I think she pushed me over the edge with her card!  

  Save

  Her colors include Old Olive & Crushed Curry with White.  I LOVE the frame she made with the Fabulous Frames dies!  The rest of the dies are from the Brightest Beauty bundle.  That stamped background behind the frame and the main image are wonderful together.  The plain white behind the pretty flower & leaves really show the stamped image off.  And that greeting die! 

  ~~~

  Next is an amazing card made by Candace.  She is the expert at sponging backgrounds.  Always so smooth and blended.  

  Who would think of adding a Hippo to Snowflakes?!!  But it works perfectly.  

  Save

  Details:

  • Colors include Gorgeous Grape, White, Highland Heather & Pacific Point
  • The Hippo is from the Hippest Hippos stamp set & dies from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 
  • The snowflake frame is from the Snowman dies & the Red & White glimmer paper
  • The embossing folder is from the Wintry duo in the Annual catalog
  • She achieved her beautiful background by using Blending Brushes.
  • The pretty 'iridescent' snowflake is from our Wonderful Snowflakes seen here  
  • She printed the greetings on White card stock using her printer! 

  Save

  Next is a simple yet beautiful card made by Annette. She let the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder take the prime spot on her card. This folder comes in a bundle with dies seen here. 

  Save

  Her colors are Old Olive with Very Vanilla.  The greeting is from the Color & Contour bundle.  The offset circles add a playful touch. 

  Come back for more incredible swap cards tomorrow!

• Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements

  August 16, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

  Save

  I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

  I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

  I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

  Save

  Measurements: 

  • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
  • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
  • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
  • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”
