Card Ideas – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

February 26, 2020

These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here.

I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping. After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer. Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card. Easy!

The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. See the detail on the dies here? Gorgeous!

These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay. I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too. That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.

These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last. Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Sending Flowers Die creates a beautiful circle of flowers!

February 25, 2020
We made this pretty card at my Flowerbug's Team meeting last month. It features the new Sending You Flowers die that's available in the Coordination Product Release. You can see all 5 new items here:

This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside. It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame. That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set.

Details:
- The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
- The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
- The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily!
- That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.

Under My Umbrella Bridge fold card with video

February 24, 2020
This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs in February. It's a bridge fold card featuring the Under My Umbrella bundle. See it here.

To create this card you'll cut your base card short and add another short piece at the bottom. The Daffodil and Balmy Blue layers 'bridge' the base layers. Really cool. And I was able to die-cut the Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle from the leftover piece from the middle. I love using my card stock so perfectly. *See measurements below.

The Under My Umbrella stamps and punch bundle is just $30.50 for both! It has so MANY cute images and wonderful greetings. I just love it! We stamped the images in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with Blends markers

The striped and raindrops designer paper is from the Pleased as Punch paper; available while supplies last now with the Coordination Product Release special. You can see it here. It's so bright and springlike!

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2", plus a second piece at 1 1/4" X 4 1/4" for the bottom
  White inside 3 X 4 1/4" and a scrap for greeting punch
  Daffodil Delight 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
  Balmy Blue scalloped die-cut 3" X 4"
  Pleased as punch DSP 2 1/2" X 3 5/8" front, two strips 1" X 4" for top and bottom plus scrap for
  umbrella punch
