Summer catalog – Flowerbugs Inkspot

A set of fun fold cards with NEW designer paper! Free project sheet & video too

April 28, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of these fun fold cards and today I’ll share the other two. All feature the brand new Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper. It’s coming out on May 5th in the May-August catalog from Stampin’ Up!

I shared the top card yesterday and today I’ll share the lower two.

First is this SUPER easy fun fold card. It’s a great way to use your DSP up. The front layer is 3″ X 4″; perfect for 12 X 12″ DSP.

I chose to use two of the retiring 2024-26 In Colors for this one. Summer Splash and Pretty in Pink with Black & White. This Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all Black & White but I colored the flowers and leaves in with Blends markers. The greeting image is from the Greetings for all Ephemera pack seen here. It’s one of my very favorite greeting packs and it’s carrying over too! The Black punched piece is from the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. Sadly it just retired and is not out of stock.

The inside White layer hides the end of the scored Pink flap. It’s a really neat and simple fun fold card. Click here to access the free project sheet.

And here is the last card in this trio of fun fold cards featuring the new Artistic Sketched Garden DSP. It’s another side flap card:

My colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel with White. The scored side flap flips to the right and has the diagonal squares with the greetings attached. The greeting is part of the Greetings for All Ephemera pack again; added to the Labeled with Love punched piece. This is retiring now and available here while supplies last.

Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

March 29, 2022
Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps. Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color. I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye.

The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron. See the set here.

She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card. Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip. Beautiful!

Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.

The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits. Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product! This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here.

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.

She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath. This die is from the Meadow dies seen here. The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set.

The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too. These dies are retiring! I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers. See them here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card.

The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here. Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!? The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog. They are returning in the new annual catalog.

Her measurements are:
- Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
- DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2"
Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink.

She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look. The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.

Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

Matchbook Cards on tonight’s FB Live! An easy fun fold showing off your DSP

March 28, 2022
We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week. They're so neat and really show off your DSP.

Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches? See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?

I am featuring the Flowering Tulips stamp set & Flowering Fields designer series paper here. It's so pretty and spring-like.

The Live video is at 7:30 pm CT here on my Facebook page. If you aren't following me yet, be sure to do that so you don't miss the 6 videos I do each month.

The 2nd & 4th Monday night videos are 'Stamp with Me' videos where I encourage you to prep your pieces and create right along with me. I share the measurements & supplies needed a day or two ahead of time on my FB page here. Of course you can choose to watch first and make yours later too.

Here's a photo of them laying flat. My colors include Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Old Olive on the left card. The card on the right is Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry & Shaded Spruce.

The dies for the greetings are the Layering Circles, Tasteful Labels and Beautiful Shapes dies.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
- DSP 3 3/4" X 5 3/4" scored at 4 5/8", 3/4" X 4" lower strip
- CS layer 4" X 5"
- White inside 3 3/4" X 4 1/2"
