Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!

September 16, 2020

I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday. I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!

Save

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it. I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background. You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below.

Save

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies. I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below.

Save

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it! I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock.

Do you like the White clouds? I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds. Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set.

Save

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie. I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies. The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set.

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

Power of Hope Bundle swap cards

February 18, 2020

I have a lot of swaps to show you this week. My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing! Each day I'll share a few with you.

First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $100 purchase. You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder. Look!

Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern. She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here. She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look.

She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below. The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.

Save

Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors. So elegant! The greeting is heat embossed. Look at what she did on the inside of the card! Unique and special.

You can see this bundle here in my online store.

Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

February 17, 2020

Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them? I have a solution for note cards.

Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5". We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year. White or Scalloped. You can find them on page 168. Or click here for the Scalloped.

Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

Save

I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards. Look!

Save

The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile. I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile.

I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post.

Save

This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box. The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

Here are the measurements for the box:

Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
    • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
    • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too. Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!
