Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's! We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate. See the others here and here.
I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place. She has a tutorial for it here. Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card. So the finished size may be different.
Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" . She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.
I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here! I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too. It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!
The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces! Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
Kindest Expressions stamp set
Paper Florist dies
Countryside Corners dies
Blending Brushes
Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
Embossing paste Matte finish
Adhesive-Backed sequins trio
Whew! And I didn't even list the ink and paper! My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight.
I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife. Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too. I let that dry for a few hours.
Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here. I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot. They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.
Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!
Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper. She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!
I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy. She told me she made it up herself! AMAZING!!
She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside. I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside. The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place.
It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread.
Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal. Add it to your card base layers and you're done!
You can see these clear envelopes here. I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes!
This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!
