Designer Paper 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.

Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial

May 19, 2021
We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs. See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece?

I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here. This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself. No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards. I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images.

The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off. Save $$ and get them now at a discount.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card.

Here are the measurements for you:
- Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  White 3 1/4" X 4" and 3 3/4" X 4 1/2"
  Old Olive gift card option 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  DSP – top 3 1/4" X 4", bottom 2 1/2" X 4"

Corner Latch Cards Video with Expressions in Ink

May 18, 2021

I absolutely LOVE this fun fold! It makes such good use of both your card stock and designer paper. There's a video at the bottom of this post so you can catch my tips and watch me make these.

I chose to use the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper for these cards. It's absolutely stunning and filled with alcohol ink backgrounds. This means you don't have to create them yourself!

This card is made with our new Polished Pink card stock along with a bit of Gold foil accents die-cut with the beautiful Artistic dies.

In this next photo you can see how it opens as well as the stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set & bundle seen here.

Below is the same card made with different papers from this DSP only the card base is Pale Papaya. An entirely different look with the softer colors. The flowers & leaves are from the same stamp set and die bundle.

Here's a photo of this incredible Expressions in Ink specialty designer paper also seen here. You are going to love it! I will be featuring it in June for a kit to go.

Below is the video; I hope you watch it. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.
