You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately after payment and the kit ships separately from other kits via Priority Mail. 

It's $25 and includes all pre-cut & punched pieces, 20 envelopes (10 green & 10 White), sparkly gems, Dimensionals, mini glue dots, Red Twine & ribbon and the PDF tutorial. It does not include stamped images. 

You will need the following to complete the cards like mine:

I used the Heartfelt Wishes & stamps in the original PP kit on my cards but I'm sure you have greeting you can easily substitute.

Gingerbread & Peppermint cards - get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial

I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately.  Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits!  Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly. 

I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors.  Look at the cards in this kit:

Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too.  This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces. 

This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:

• 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces. 
• $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
• the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list

It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine.  You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper. 

I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets.  You can easily substitute other greetings.

Ever Eden; a gorgeous card kit to go!

Did you see the new Eden's Garden Collection yet?  It's available starting today!  It's a combination of a sneak peak bundle from the upcoming Spring Catalog AND exclusive papers & gems available from November 2nd to January 3rd (while supplies last). You can see it all here.  

I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals - trees & leaves.  This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems.  I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.  

Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too.  I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs. 

This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial.  It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

There is a limited quantity of these available.  Order by November 16th.  It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail. 

*Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class!  *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!

• Order the Kit to Go here
• Get the PDF tutorial here

This kit to go includes the following:

• 10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs.  Most are unique folds 
• 1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
• a share of Garden gems
• 3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon 

You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package! 

**This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive.  That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow.  Get both November kits here.

Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!

On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors.  I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.  

Isn't it gorgeous?  The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here.  A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils!  Watch the video below to see how.  

I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink.  It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper.  I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins. 

Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold.  This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here.  It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here.  *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle - stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.  

Look at this pretty & quick treats box.  It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here.  You get 10 boxes for $6.  Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.  

Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!  

You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards....   I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste!  Watch my tip on this in the video below. 

I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table!  Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents.  Mmm - I think I have a plan!
