Cutest Crew Club card; quick & cute! Free project sheet too

May 11, 2026

This is one of the cards we made at my April card clubs; it features the Cutest Crew bundle.

The Cutest Crew bundle (seen here) has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! The dies were available last week but now they’re gone again. They should be back the week of May 18th though. Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get a notification as to when they’re available.

My colors are Coastal Cabana with White, Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake. I used the Hobby Haven and Wood Grain Wonders designer papers on my card. Here’s the cat version:

I colored the critters in with Blends markers; stamping the images with Black Memento ink. The stitched die is from the Nested Essential dies seen here; one of my favorites.

I stamped the paw prints image repeatedly in the inside and added one of the pet die-cuts.

Which is your favorite?

I shared a video last week on Facebook and it’s now uploaded to my YouTube Channel. Plus you can access the free project sheet here.

Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia

September 8, 2021
If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique. If not, check this out!

You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too!

Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface. Outline images won't work as well here.

Here's how it's done:
1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock.
2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area.
4. Blow or dust off excess chalk. Done!
Here's the video:

Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

September 7, 2021
On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper. *Follow me on Facebook here.

Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP.

As you can see, it's not a Christmas card. This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

See that cute penguin? It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

DSP Explosion card
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
- White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
- DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
- Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”
Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!

Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

September 6, 2021
We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards. This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme. Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.

The first is made by Tracey. She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in. It's beautiful stamped in one color! See this stamp set here.

It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card including the torn edges.

Details:
- Stacked Stone background stamp
- One ink – Cinnamon Cider
- Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
- Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
- Champagne rhinestones
This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.

I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers. It adds that fun pop of color. It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.

Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left. I do love Black & White paper!

This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here.
