WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!


Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!  

So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.  

Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" 
  • front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
  • White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
  • Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4" 

She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set. 

Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.  

She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle. 

Products used:

  • Beary Cute bundle
  • Night of Navy, White, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue card stock
  • Inks – Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight (scarf) and Mossy Meadow
  • Deckled circles dies, Navy & Gold glittered ribbon, Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • Balmy blue and White inside 4" square
  • DSP strip 1 1/8" X 4"

  • CUTE Easter Bunny projects by Sharon; our Artist of the Month


    Easter is just 2 weeks away so I thought I'd share Sharon's projects featuring the Easter Bunny bundle. She chose it for her Artist of the Month theme and she knocked it out of the park!  

    Unfortunately the bundle is not currently available as the Easter Bunny punch is out of stock.  It will be back on or before May 15th.  You can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now. 

    I'll share a brief description of each: 

    She stamped her bunnies on Vellum and colored in just the ears.  The vellum is die-cut with the Scalloped Contour dies. So many cute details here – note the bird, egg and carrot…. The grass in front and the white cloud pieces under the vellum set the scene!

    Next is a few of her adorable  Easter treats:

    ON the top left is one of our Scalloped Kraft Treat boxes seen here. She punched the bunny through the lid and added a piece of window sheet to hold in the yummy candy.  The blue 'pull-up' candy bar treat holds a massive kit kat candy bar!  I love the bunny punched through the front with a sweet basket. Just wrap the ribbon around the bar and tie at the top for a fun pull up treat.  *Tip; use the size of your candy bar to guide you on cutting/folding your card stock wrap.  

    Here is a close-up of the bunny eggs.  She stamped the White strip and added it to a card stock wrap. The bunnies are stamped, colored and fussy cut then added to the band.  

    Next is a fun fold with three bunnies on the diagonal.  

    This card is a standard A2 card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". She added the front two squares on the front panel and here's how she added the center bunny to the inside edge.  The designer paper is the new Hello, Irresistible DSP. 

    I love the additions she added to each one, flowers, a carrot and eggs; all from the Easter Bunny stamp set. 

    Look closely at the ribbon and fancy edge element on this next card: 

    She used two colors or our In Color ribbon and twisted them together.  Fun!  And for the DSP element here she die-cut multiple labels from the Fancy Flora DSP & Natural Prints dies to create this pretty layer.  Clever & creative!

    This next card is a card with an additional 'gift'.  A bunny bookmark… 

    See how the double bunny can be removed to use as a bookmark?  It's held onto her basket with magnets.  These magnets are adheres to each side of the bunnies. The card looks great without the magnet bookmark too.  Super clever!  

    This next card is made from a window sheet.  Yes; the card base is a clear window sheet!  So cool.  

    The die-cut wreath is from the Natural Prints dies using Fancy Flora DSP. 

    Here's a view of the inside. She added the card stock to the inside front and the inside back of the folded Window Sheet card base.  

    Lastly a set of sour cream treat containers: 

    Have you ever made one of these?  It's been awhile for me but they are so fun to make.  Basically it a tube of paper that you secure one end well. Then fill with candy and secure the other end closed opposite from the other end.  Traditionally you use a crimper to crease the end, but you can use a scoring tool as well.  

    She had fun adding multiple tags to each! 

    Didn't she do an amazing job?!  So many wonderful and SUPER creative projects. Well done Sharon!!

  • Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial


    I shared this special card on a recent FB Live.  It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.  

    It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite! 

    When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it.  I show how on the video below.

    This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line! 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
    • White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
    • Polished Pink 4”
    • Parakeet Party 1” X 4

    I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading!  Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

    The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

    There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too! 

    Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

  • Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video


    Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

    I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

    The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

    My measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
    • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
    • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4" 

    Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set.  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too! 

    Here's how I finished the inside of the card.
