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!

Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates

December 3, 2021

Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here. I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

See the carry over list here. And the retiring or Last Chance list here

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White. I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand. I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber.

See the texture? After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here.

If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here. I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards. And they sized perfectly for very little waste.

Below is how the White card stock is stamped. Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy.

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines.

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

December 2, 2021

I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea! I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time. It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!

I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit! It's so fun to do.

For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes.

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with. For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp.

And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these! They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

Below is the video so you can see how it's done.
