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.

Simply Zinnias dies are the focus of this easy fun fold

March 18, 2024

I shared this striking card on last week's Live video. I focused on the Flowering Zinnias suite.

My colors include Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Black, Flirty Flamingo & White.

I textured the Melon Mambo layer with the new Zinnia 3D embossing folder and created the two flowers & leaves from the Simply Zinnias dies. See all of the Zinnia products here.

The greeting is from the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set seen here. I LOVE this set! It includes so many greetings I'd actually use!

LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!

March 15, 2024
I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's. Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards.

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable. The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th. The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April.

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here. It also includes a sheet of White in the pack. This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front.

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A.

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front. What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here. It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool!

Measurements:
- Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line. You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it.
- Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
- Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
- DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across. The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"
Next is a neat card made by Rita.

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
- DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"
I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques.

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set.

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image. Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors. She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes!

I'll share more team swaps next week!

Beautiful Online Exclusive card swaps

March 14, 2024

We held our monthly Team Gathering and our swap theme was to feature Online Exclusive products. Honestly our current line of OE products is amazing. Did you know there are over 90 items? Be sure to check them out here.

Joan made this first one with the In My Heart stamp set seen here.

Her coloring is amazing! I believe she used Blends markers for the scene. She used two sizes of the Deckled Circles and her background is made with the Foursquare decorative masks seen here. She used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink to create that gorgeous, striking background. Her colors are Orchid Oasis & Sweet Sorbet – both of these In Colors are retiring in early April!

Here's how she finished the inside:

Next is a stunning card made by Tracey. She chose the Courage & Faith stamp set in the Annual catalog; see it here.

I just love how this layout shows off the pretty Meandering Meadows designer paper!

Measurements: Each of the designer paper pieces are 2 1/2" X 1 1/4". This allows you to make two cards with each 6 X 6" piece of DSP. The greeting is stamped on a the Scalloped Contours diecut seen here.

Next is a wonderful card perfect for either guys or gals. It features the Trucking Along bundle seen here.

I love the stamped and textured background! She also used the Deckled Circles (in low inventory) and the Basics 3D embossing folders – both can be seen in our Online Exclusive line here.   The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies

Stay tuned for more swaps tomorrow!
