A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!

February 6, 2026

Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
This is how it opens:

Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

Measurements as follows:

-card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
-White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
-Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
-DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″

Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing card with us Karen!

Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy – lots of ideas to inspire you!

February 27, 2023
Today I'm featuring the Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration choices. This awesome promotion ends tomorrow! Do you have everything you want yet?

The Favored Flowers 12 X 12" DSP is filled with gorgeous florals and patterns. You can see it here.

Save

Some people are fussy cutting these pretty flowers out but you can use the DSP as is too. It features these colors: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink,

Save

I am a little surprised it's still available. The Dainty Flowers DSP sold out and I thought this one would be next.

Next I'm featuring my favorite stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration catalog – the Beautifully Happy set.

Save

There are three main reasons it's a favorite:
1. It's Distinktive and a 2-step set! Distinktive means it gives two or more hues of color with one stamping. Love these!
2. It's flowers! Botanical sets tend to be among my faves.
3. The greetings are wonderful; I especially like the mixed font.
4. Okay; here's a 4th reason – it doesn't have to be colored in. The solid stamps do it for you!
One of my favorite cards:

3 FUN ways to use Window Sheets – check out these Team swaps!

February 24, 2023
Our swap theme for our Flowerbug's Team was to feature either Window Sheets or Vellum on their cards. The cards were amazing; as usual!

Today we're focusing on Window Sheets.

First is a special card made by Lori. She used the Window Sheet as her card base! I'm not sure I've ever seen that before…

Save

She used the Cup of Tea bundle and the newest In Colors on her card. Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party & Sweet Sorbet.

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front 'frame'. It measures 3" X 4 3/8" at the largest. She made two frames; one for the front and one for the inside. The die-cut tea cup is also positioned on the front and the back of the front.

She added a folded White layer inside that opens up. It's 3 3/8" X 4" folded in half.

Save

Then on the very back she added a piece of the Tea Boutique DSP that measures 3" X 4 1/4". Such a unique card!

~~~

This next card was made by Ginny. She used the Dandy Designs DSP for her card front. It's almost monochromatic but there is a bit of Pear Pizzazz and Black too. So pretty!!

Save

She added a window sheet to bridge the upper and lower layers of the card front. You can see the greeting through the window sheet. Her greeting and the pretty floral die-cut is from the Framed Florets bundle.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2". Lower card stock layer is 4 1/4" X 3".
- DSP is 4" X 1" and 4" X 2 3/4"
- Window sheet is 4" X 2 1/4"
~~~

This next card was made by Paula. She created a window from her DSP layer, adding Window Sheet behind it and a die-cut flower from the Framed Florets bundle in front.

Save

The Designer Paper is called Design a Daydream; it's in the annual catalog and is a big 48 pack for just $18. You can earn it once your order is over $150 with host benefits.

I love her wrap of linen thread with a tiny little bow as accent.

Measurements:
- Soft Sea Foam card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Pear Pizzazz 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP 3 3/4" X 5"
- Window sheet 3" for the circle opening which is 2 1/2"
~~~

Next is a cute & colorful card that really shows off our Window Sheets!

Jackie made a type of bridge card where the window sheet allows you to see the inside layer from the front.

Save

She is featuring the Butterfly Kisses suite here – the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP and the Build a Butterfly dies.

Her window sheet is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and she textured it with the Raindrops embossing folder from the Spring Catalog. The lower layers are added to the base.

Her colors include Calypso Coral, Starry Sky & Crushed Curry. The curvy borders are done with the Seaside Bay dies. Neat effect!

Save

She added the greeting inside the card with the Double Oval punch seen here; it's a big favorite of mine that I had wished for.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 7", scored at 5 1/2". Second Calypso Coral layer for the bottom front is 4 1/4" X 1 1/2"
- DSP layers are 3 7/8" X 1"
- Starry Night layers are 4 1/8" X 1 1/4"
Stay tuned for more swaps soon!
