Wow! Check out the Magic in This Night Samplers! Remember Punch Art Wednesday?


If you've followed me for awhile you may remember I used to do a Punch Art Wednesday post almost every week!  I loved creating things with punches.  But I've gotten away from that since my business has grown. But I think you'll find some great punch art in these projects!

My Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Halloween sampler swap for a home decor piece.  We chose to use the Magic in This Night designer paper as our theme & colors.  I had enough pieces to create 2 of them. Look at these!  

Isn't it incredible?  Each so unique and all together create a fabulous home decor piece! 

These 3" squares are adhered to a full 12" sheet of the Magic in This Night designer paper. I'll try to give some details on these squares. 

I created the banners from the Word Wishes dies in White card stock.  I sponged the upper and lower areas with Pretty Peacock & Cajun Craze inks.  I stamped spider webs from the Banner Year stamp set on the White strip. 

A mummy made from sponged White CS strips, a sponged night sky & masked moon with fussy cut bats from the Designer Paper and a punched cat on a Metallic Mesh ribbon background.

An owl from the Have a Hoot bundle, a punched pumpkin with the Playful Alphabet BOO and another owl on a Cobweb textured background with Black Glimmer branches.

Below is an entirely different sampler!   

These sampler squares are adhered to a 12 X 12" sheet of Pretty Peacock card stock. 

From left to right; the first one is made with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, second is from the Banner Year and far right are bats fussy cut from the Designer Paper. 

Left is a tag made with the Banner Year stamp set, the cat is on a die-cut from the Sweet Silhouettes dies & a textured brick 'wall' and last on the right is a punched ghost made with the Tulip punch!  The eyes are from the 0's in the Playful Alphabet dies and the greeting from Hallows Night Magic set.

I LOVE seeing what my talented Team members create for our swaps.  If you'd like to join my Team we'd love to have you; whether you like to swap or not!  Click here to purchase the starter kit!  The Get & Go Promotion is a fabulous deal and it ends in just 6 days!!  Read about it here.

  • Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene


    You might know that I love creating scenic cards.  Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers.  I do!  But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water.  This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.  

    I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago.  It's super easy to make!  Here's a link to it on FB.  

    The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree.  I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'.  The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

    I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial.  And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!  

    Here's the video:

  • Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!


    This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

    I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy. 

    Here's how to make this pretty card. 

    1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
    2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
    3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
    4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
    5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
    6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
    7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

    Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

  • Over the Moon Fun-Fold card


    My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month.  Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month.  They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!  

    It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.  

    Isn't it cute?  It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

    The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here.  Aren't they perfect?!!!

    Measurements:

    • Black back – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", bottom front 2 3/4" X 4 3/4" scored at 4 1/4", front panel 3" X 4 1/4" stitched rectangle
    • Real Red 2 5/8" X 4" stitched rectangle
    • White front 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" stitched rectangle, lower front spotted, stamped panel 2 1/2" X 4"
