Swaps – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Last of the Team card swaps featuring new products

June 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing the last two swaps from May; our theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

This first card was made by Ginny. She cased a card made by Chelle Scott.

She used the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. Who doesn’t love ferns!? Stampin’ Up! did an awesome job on these dies.
The colors here are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Peaceful Pine.

And look at that gorgeous embossing folder – called Fern & Flora 3D folder is stunning! See it here.

Next is a pretty card made by Paula who featured the Valley in Bloom Designer Paper.

It’s a book binding card fold. Start with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base; score at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. Adhere the ‘binding’ area down.
Her colors include Blackberry Bliss with Granny Apple Green. She added some of the new 2026-28 In Color butterflies too.

This designer paper is simply stunning; it’s so soft and yet detailed at the same time. See it here.

Here’s what she did on the inside. The dies are so pretty!

Here’s the Lily of the Valley bundle that includes these beautiful dies.

Thanks for joining the swap gals; LOVE your cards!
