The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo

June 13, 2025

I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.

The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock. See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.

My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!

This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images.

Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold? Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.

Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out.

Check out the confetti on the frosting. I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!

Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

Save

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
