Fun Folds – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Check out these Team Swaps featuring Specialty Paper – with measurements!

March 4, 2026

Our card swap theme for February was to feature our beautiful specialty papers. Today I’m sharing three of them with you.

First is a neat fun fold card by Karen. She chose the Lovely & Beautiful specialty DSP and her card shows off both sides wonderfully!

She also used the Three Banner bundle for her greeting. Love that saying! See this punch bundle here.
The stitched square die-cut from Stylish Shapes dies hides the inside panel perfectly.

Measurements are as follows:

Card base 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″
White 5 1/4″ X 4″, inside is 2 3/4″ square
DSP 5″ X 6″ score at 2″ on the 6″ side
Calypso Coral square die-cut 2 3/4″

Next is Kim’s card who also chose to use the Lovely & Beautiful DSP. She heat embossed her greeting on Vellum!

Notice the brand new embossing folder – it’s called Lazy Daisy and coordinates great with the DSP she chose.

Measurements:

Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, Olive layer 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
DSP 4″ X 2 1/4″
Fresh Freesia 4″ X 3″
Gold strip 4″ X 1/2″

Next is a neat shaker card made by Joan. She used the Good Luck stamp set.

Her colors are Shy Shamrock (of course!) and Shaded Spruce with Gold accents.

Measurements:

Shy Shamrock card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, top layer is 3 3/4″ X 5″
Shaded Spruce 4″ X 5 1/4″
circle window is 2 3/4″
White inside 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

I’ll share more Team swaps tomorrow.

Darling Label Punch Box; just $6.95! That’s over 80% off!

April 23, 2020

I can't get over the wonderful deals they have on the retiring list. Did you know the Darling Label Punch box is just $6.75? That's down from $45 in the catalog! It's just one of the amazing deals going on now. It will not last long!!!

See it here or on page 94 of your annual catalog. It has a 6 piece stamp set, a clear block, two ink spots and a punch; all nestled in a beautiful tin box! Oh my gosh! What a crafty deal!

I used it on these cards below along with a pack of last year's Brights Designer Paper. Use any paper and you've got a quick set of cards; many of them easy fun folds and gift cards!

The tutorial for these cards can be found here for just $10.
