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.

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

Thoughtful Blooms with the Small Bloom punch

February 21, 2020
Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team this month. I just love seeing what my gals create for our swaps!

The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set coordinates with the Small Blooms punch. See them here and here:

Jacki made this beautiful card. I love the many layers and details here. And the colors are fresh and unique – Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay and White. She used the new Label Me Fancy punch, the Starburst punch, Leaf punch and the Painted Label dies for the swirl. The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments set. That gorgeous texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here.

Candace made this unique card below:

Her colors are Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green. Isn't this layout fun?! the technique is called Triple Stamping. You place your White layers in position as shown without the Grape layers in between and stamp on the three pieces all at once. Then add the Grape layers and adhere to your main card. Super easy and fun too.

She added a pretty greeting in Purple Posy with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (my favorite!) and the punched flowers from the Small Bloom punch.

Measurements:
- Grape – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 4 1/4" X 3 1/4" and 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
- White – 4" X 5 1/4", 4" X 3" and 3" X 2"

Lovely Lily Pad with Lily Pad dies to match!

February 20, 2020

Waterlilies are so trendy now and these reversible Lovely Lily Pad stamps in the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog are beautiful!

I'm sharing more of my Team swaps from our meeting earlier this month. Many of my team choose to join in our monthly swaps. Our swaps are optional and work like this: design one card and make one for everyone in the swap. If there are 12 people in the swap you make 12 of the same cards. Then send or bring them to me and I sort them out and return them to everyone participating. It's so fun to get all different cards back when you only had to create one!

First is Mary's pretty card:

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies on three of her layers here! Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive. A little bit of Rococo Rose and Coastal Cabana too. The Lily Impressions designer paper has tons of pretty colors in it.

Roxann made this next card. She also used a Bermuda Bay card base but focused on Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green as her colors.

It truly looks like water is reflecting the flowers on this pretty Lily Impressions designer paper. This paper is a free choice with any $50 order right now. See them here.

Her greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts set; also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

Bobby created this pretty card below. It also reminds me of a water garden with lilies in it.

Her colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Grapefruit Grove. Isn't that border die beautiful? I also like that peek of a vellum lily behind the largest lily. I have a bunch of talented ladies on my Team!

If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator I'd love to have you in my Flowerbug's group. Read about that opportunity here.
