2025 Annual Catalog – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Holiday Catalog Open House displays!

September 11, 2025

Saturday I held my new catalog launch party & open house. I had a wonderful turnout! Best thing was how much they loved the new products I displayed. Here are some photos of my projects and swap cards:

These first few photos show the autumn themed products including the Gathering Together suite and the Autumn Toile sweet.

Next is the beautiful Lights of Aurora, the Fluffy Squirrel and Amber Autumn projects:

This next photo shows the display in my studio wall. I always have multiple packs of designer papers hanging on the wall or on my magnet boards.

Next up are a few displays with Holiday themed products:

I loved playing with the new Joyful Days Memory & More cards. Such pretty pine themed cards!

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my new Holiday displays. I love holding these open houses because I get to see customers & friends I don’t see regularly. And I get to cook for them too, which I totally enjoy!

Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels

March 11, 2020
This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month. It's also free to anyone who places an online order. *Details below

Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder.

The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.

You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background. I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock. Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool. Such a fabulous look!

The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last. It's already on the low inventory list!

Other details:
- Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
- The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies.
- The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)

Easy card design; get two cards with one cut with the So Very Vellum Specialty paper

March 10, 2020
The 2nd set of Sale-a-Bration products are here! There are 5 new items you can choose from that you get FREE with a $50 – $100 order from now through March 31st. Honestly I am guessing the Vellum and Flowering Foils papers might sell out before March is over.

I made these quick cards with the pretty textured So Very Vellum and the Eyelet Lace embossing folder in the annual catalog.

To get two pieces from each quarter sized sheet of vellum see the measurements and tips are below.

The colors are Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy which are the colors this specialty vellum comes in. It has a dotted grid of texture on each sheet! This specialty vellum is one of the new FREE choices with any $50 order in March. See it here.

Tips:
1. Cut one piece of vellum measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Make a mark at 1 1/2" from the upper left and 1 1/2" from the lower right and cut each piece in half at a diagonal. You'll have 2 perfect diagonal pieces for your cards.
2. Adhere the vellum to the White 4" X 5 1/4" card base using liquid glue; I prefer Multipurpose adhesive. I added a thin line under the dots on the vellum and it doesn't show at all!
3. The die-cuts are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies; I did add a scalloped 1 1/8" circle punch between the two layers and sponged the White pieces.
4. The greetings are from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's a bundle with the dies at a 10% savings. See it here.

Peaceful Poppies cards kit to go; RSVP by March 19th!

March 9, 2020

The cards kit to go features the Peaceful Poppies designer paper. It's full of hand painted blooms accented by watercolor effects all inspired by fields of poppies.

The 5 designs include two unique fun fold cards which are easy to make yet special for the recipient.

This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping). You're getting the 10 cards pre-cut kit for just $5! See those beautiful die-cuts and trim pieces? They are included in my kits! I do the time consuming work for you so you can enjoy the fun of just stamping and assembly.

*If you like pre-cut card kits you will LOVE my monthly kits to go! Here are some comments from my subscribers:

– I made all the cards, and had a great time. I loved all the different folds and color choices. Thanks for making my week!

– Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.

– I just received the January card kit and love it!

– I loved these cards; they were so fun to make.

Here's one of the fun-fold cards in this month's kit. It has a pocket for your greeting and/or a gift card if you'd like to add one.

I did use the poppy image from the Painted Poppies set in the card above.

For my greetings I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set seen below. If you add it on you will get a free Sale-a-Bration choice with your kit. Or choose the Peaceful Moments bundle and earn you a free SAB choice. See your free choices here.

The Painted Poppies bundle is not available right now but should be back mid April! Both of these bundles coordinate together beautifully and are part of the Peaceful Poppies suite on pages 24-27 in the mini catalog.



The cards kit to go includes the following:

– a pre-cut cards kit for 10 cards; including die-cuts and many punched pieces

– Free pdf instructions with photos, measurements (to make more), step by step instructions and a supplies list

– 1/2 package of the 12 X 12" Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper

– 1 full package of the Peaceful Poppies sequins

– 3 spools of colored Baker's twine in Poppy Parade, Black and Garden Green

**You have through March 19th to RSVP for this kit. It's $28 for locals and $36 for long distance and includes Priority Shipping.

If you'd like to add on the Peaceful Moments stamp set or the bundle (seen above) please let me know. If you do add it on, (or anything else of $30 or more) I will combine shipping AND you get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! See the free items here.

***Be sure to RSVP by the 19th to get your kit!

It's just $28 for locals and $36 for long distance people with Priority Shipping. Kits should be mailed out at the end of March and the pdf tutorial is emailed.
