Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!

My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

First is a thank you kit called ‘Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

Save

It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.

• This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!

  June 19, 2023

  ---

  This easy fun fold is so smart!  It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.

  How?  Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".  Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark.  This piece is then flipped and is the front panel.  So smart!

  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes!

  The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout.  This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have!  You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

  The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one.  And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.   

  I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting.  The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here.

  Here's the link to see my recent video featuring this card.  I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

• Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

  June 16, 2023

  ---

  We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club.  It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry.  This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!  

  Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center.  Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It's fun to play with too.  We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base.  Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

  The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry.  Measurements and video can be seen below.

  Measurements:
  • Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
  • Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
  • Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square
  • White inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for beer & foam

• Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

  June 15, 2023

  ---

  Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

  Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

  Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

  She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

  The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

  I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

  She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

  You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.
