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.

Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!

April 13, 2020

This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month.

I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card!

It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents. I will sure miss this color! It will be retiring in just 9 days! Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

Isn't that border die amazing? And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner.

I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock. Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow.

Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock. Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut.

Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.

This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month. See it all here in my online store.

And remember that all online orders over $55 in April will receive a free Simple Shammy from me too! Details below.

Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

April 10, 2020

I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in. Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit. So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

I love this peek-a-boo bunny here! Yes; it's fussy cut. There aren't dies for it. She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper. I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool! See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here.

That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it! The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package.

I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring! Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!

The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies. The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square. This layout really highlights the main image.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
