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!

Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

March 24, 2022
I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month. The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.

I chose to use Magenta Madness. It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.

I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY! There's no guessing with stamp placement.

Details:
- The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here.
- I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center.
- The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here.
- The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here.
- The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.

Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

March 23, 2022
We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here.

Dies featured here:
- The Dandy Wishes dies in the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here. I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it. *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow…..
- The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog. You can see them here. I love the double layering you get with them!!
This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.

You can see how this is assembled in the video below. I also list the measurements below too.

The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back. We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer. We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush. We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.

Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time.

As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors. I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen! This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last. This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

Everyone who orders the Waves of the Ocean suite collection from me will receive my exclusive PDF & video for 11 beautiful projects!

I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'. For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2" & 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"
  Waves of the Ocean DSP 2 1/4" X 5 1/4"
  White X2 – 3" X 4" (front & back)
  scraps of White & Navy for die-cuts
