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.

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!

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.

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!

  I decided to offer card kits for both men and women this month.  With Mother's and Father's day coming up it's nice to have cards for the special people in our lives.  

  Today I'm highlighting the 10 men's cards showcasing the Well Suited designer paper; many of which are fun folds. Look!

  I used the Handsomely Suited stamp set for the greetings but you can easily substitute any stamps you already own.  However if you want to purchase it, here's a link to the stamp set & here's the link to the bundle.  Or add it to your kit at an additional 10% off!

• Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

  April 5, 2021

  ---

  This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

  I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. 

  Save

  This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips.  I find the colors stunning together!  

  Save

  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight.  The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards. 

  These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.  

  The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.  

  ~~~

  Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time. 

  Save

  The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last!  the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

  Save

  Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!
