Beautiful Balloons card swaps

May 25, 2023

This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold.

She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card. The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.

More details:

Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel.
The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.

Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here. It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies.

Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!

September 9, 2025

Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.

Save

Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card? It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper. Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″. Stack them together and cut all at the same time. This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these just released new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!
