The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:

The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.

Amazing Flowerbug Team swaps!

July 22, 2020

This week and next I'll be sharing a bunch of recent card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's.

The first card is made by Annette with the set called From All of Us on page 93 of the annual catalog. She used Blends markers to color the image in.

Save

Her colors are Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. The card above was for last month and the one below was for July; both made by Annette.

This next card is a unique origami fold. I shared the 'how to' and video on this post here. I was grateful to Annette for demonstrating it at our last Team meeting. So easy and it sure highlights the main image!

I LOVE the sign hanging on the cording!!

This card is made with the new Cinnamon Cider; one of our newest In Colors. She stamped the background tone-on-tone and the origami piece is made using the 6 X 6" 2020-22 In Color DSP. The stamp set is Back on Your Feet on page 92 of the Annual catalog.

Stay tuned for more fabulous swaps tomorrow!

Origami card fold with Flowers for Every Season with video

July 21, 2020

Here's another card I made on FB live last week using the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper. It's an origami fold that creates a perfect place for your stamped image in the center.

Save

It starts out with a 4 1/4" piece of designer series paper and you place it on a score board on the diagonal so the points are at 3" on the top and the left. You can do this with a paper cutter too. See here or watch the video below:

Save

Then you score at 1" and 1 1/2". Rotate it and do this on all sides. Fold as shown.

Save

The stamped White layer inside is 2 7/8" square.

Below is the video for this card and another pretty one made with the Fancy Phrases stamp set.
