Stampin’ Up! Specials – Flowerbugs Inkspot

More Specialty Paper swaps for you.

March 6, 2026

From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

More swaps coming soon!

Neat fun fold card with a Blends/embossing technique with Fields in Bloom; video & free project sheet too!

August 13, 2024

I really love the card I'm sharing with you today. In addition to it being a unique fun fold there are so many great details!

I used the Fields in Bloom & Everyday Greetings stamp sets which are both wonderful. But what makes this card so special is the technique and the fun fold.

There is a second folded card under the window; inside the main card base. For the window, I used the Everyday Details dies seen here. They are in the online store now but were in last year's catalog. It creates a perfect window for the hill of flowers scene.

I stamped the flowers and leaves images in Versamark and heat embossed them in White. Then I used Blends markers to color the embossed flowers & leaves. This is such a fun technique and super easy too. I love that I can get these two large images colored in multiple colors this way. Please watch the video here to see how it's done.

It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other. Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is.

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Shaded Spruce and a bit of Petunia Pop. Here's a shot of the window & fun fold aspect of this card.

I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images. See it here; it's in the online store.

Fields in Bloom Center fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

August 12, 2024

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. It's a center fold card featuring the Fields in Bloom stamp set.

I think this Field of Flowers stamp set is a bit of a sleeper. Until you use it you can't know how easy and amazing it is to create this field of flowers! It's just two stamps! The leaves are usually stamped in green and the other in a color for the flowers.

It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other. Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is.

Below is the inside view. I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images. See it here; it's in the online store. The greeting die-cut is from the Season of Greeting dies seen here. It's my new favorite dies for greetings.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink and Balmy Blue.

I created a free project sheet for you. Click on the following link to download or print it. Download July '24 Club Fields in Bloom

This is one of the projects we made at my July card clubs.

Below you can see the video tutorial for this card and one more fun fold card idea too.

You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.
