Two pretty ‘Fancy Border’ card swaps by my Flowerbugs


Here are the last two swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our 'Fancy Borders' swap in April. 

This first card was made by Sharon. She used the Textured Chic DSP (retired/sold out) and the Around the Bend bundle seen here.

Love the multiple curvy scalloped borders!! Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Calypso Coral. She also used the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here.  This is returning in the new catalog but it will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

Next is a white on white card made by Ginny.  What an elegant card!  

She used the Fern 3D folder and two sets of dies – Border Basics and Stylish Shapes. Simple & gorgeous. 

See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout


    Here's one more special card  made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper.  This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it. 

    The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene.  This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. 

    I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce!

  • A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog


    Release of Close to My Heart products today! 

    If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products.  In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products!  This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!! 

    Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.  

    See it all here. 

    And now for some stamping projects – I love everything about this card!  

    It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video. 

    The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too.  So pretty!  My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).

    It's almost a fun fold;  it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal.  The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left.  (I did it wrong and wasted a piece) 

    Here's the inside view: 

    This die-cut circle is from the Deckled Circle dies seen here. They're available only in the Online store right now. 

    Below is the video for other projects in this suite as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!

  • Nests of Winter fun fold card with video tutorial & a free project sheet too!


    I shared this pretty fancy fold card on last week's Live video. It features an upcoming suite from the 2024 Holiday Catalog! This catalog goes live on Tuesday, September 3rd.  (If you're one of my customers you may have received yours by now!)

    *In the video seen here or below I also share ALL of the new Holiday designer papers!  

    If you like layers it has tons of them! The very back of the card is a quarter sized piece and then there's a 11" X 4 1/4" folded layer that is attached over it. It's really neat and quite simple as well.  I created a project sheet for it too which you can see below. 

    My colors include Garden Green, White & Moody Mauve. The Designer Paper is from the Wildly Flowering pack in the annual catalog. 

    That pretty greenery die-cut is from the Winterly Tree Tops bundle in the 2024 Holiday Catalog.  I colored it in with Blends markers. The circle & greeting layers are sponged lightly with green ink.  

    Here's the free project sheet; click on the following link to download or print it:  Download Winterly Tree Tops center fold card

    Below you can see all of the cards I made with this new suite called Nests of Winter. I'll share those in the next few days. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!
