Spring Catalog – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Check out these Team Swaps!

March 24, 2026

The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

Next is a pretty card from Kim.

She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!

May 7, 2024

I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in. I just love creating a scene on my cards!

It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog. You can see it here.

My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock.

Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds.

That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.

I hope you like it! Be sure to watch the video below to see how quickly it comes together.

Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!

May 6, 2024
I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video.

It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;
- Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6" designer paper seen here
- In the Grove dies seen here
- Spotlight on Nature bundle seen here
This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.

I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too. You can see both in the photo below:

Here's a free printable project sheet for you: Download In the Grove scene

My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it. See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here.

I think these scenic cards are fabulous. Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

You can see this card being made on my video below plus another card made with the In the Grove bundle.

A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!

May 3, 2024

If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!

Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side.

Isn't that the best & most simple layout?! Think of the many cards you could make with this design.

The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack. This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good. That's how the Online Exclusive products work.

Here's an inside view:

If you'd like to have a project sheet with measurements, photos and products used, here you go. Here is the free project sheet for this super simple but gorgeous card. Download April Club Perennial Postage scene

There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now. The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.

I hope you like this simple but beautiful card. It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.
