Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!

August 21, 2022

Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August. I hope you get some inspiration from them.

First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog. Or click here.

Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce. She colored the images in with Blends markers. I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!

The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP. It is currently out of stock but will return in September.

Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.

She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.

We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen. She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August. Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!

We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun!

It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card!

I'll list them here:

Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

Save

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
