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.

Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

November 27, 2023

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?

I've always loved wreaths. In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room.

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck!

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made. I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath? Gold or white embossed greeting?

Below is the video where I shared this pretty card. Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

Sending Cheer Diamond Flap card – free project sheet & video

November 24, 2023
We made this adorable cards at my November card clubs. They could choose between Christmas & birthday. I love it when products are this versatile!

The Sending Cheer stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance list now and both are reduced in price! Originally this bundle was $53 but now it's just $38.40! The stamp set is $14.40 and the dies are $21; they do have to be purchased separately to get the discounted price.

I'll start with the Christmas version. The colors are Poppy Parade, White & Shaded Spruce. Isn't the Santa hat adorable?!

This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy. It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base. The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here. I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it.

The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here. It's retiring and discounted.

The inside greeting is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I sure love this fold!

Here is the birthday version using the same Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper seen here. It's so versatile!

The colors here are Blueberry Bushel, White & Lemon Lime Twist. We fussy cut the gift and added that neat ribbon die-cut over it.

Products used:
- Basics 3D (dots – Online Exclusive) & Merry Melody embossing folders
- Tailored Tags dies
- Adhesive-Backed Iridescent discs
- In Color Baker's Twine
- stamps – Enjoy the Rhythm
