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!

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.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

June 6, 2024
Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month. This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase.

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards.

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer. Very cool and not difficult either.

Measurements:
- Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right.
- White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal
You can see the Thoughtful Wishes bundle here. It's on sale now – 20% off in June!

The pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now but should be back around June 24th.

Next is a unique fun fold card I haven't seen before.

She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals. The right side flap folds in towards the center.

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside. So pretty!!

Measurements:
- Petunia Pop card base 7 3/8" X 5 1/2" scored at 1" and 4 1/4".
- DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3" X 5 1/4"
Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done. Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!

I'll share the rest of her beautiful cards tomorrow.

Under the Moon scenic card with free project sheet & video

June 4, 2024

Today I'm sharing the second project I made on last week's video – both feature the beautiful Under the Moon stamp set. It's a scene builder which can be so fun to create with.

My colors include Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon, Peach Pie & Pool Party.

You might wonder what die the Navy shape is around the greeting. It's from the Unbounded Love dies – it's a small greeting shape that I cut in half and added to each side.

The large white die is from the Deckled Rectangle dies. The greeting die and the fun Navy shaped die are both from the Unbounded Love bundle seen here. It's one of my new favorites.

Here's the video of the inside of these two cards. One birthday and one sympathy – these stamp sets are both so versatile!

Here's the free project sheet you can download &/or print: Download May '24 Under the Moon Club

Below is the video for this card tutorial and the other shown above. I hope you watch it to see how easy it is to create with this beautiful stamp set.
