Create this eye-catching scene with ink and blending brushes; video tutorial too!

June 10, 2025

Here's another card I created on last week's video. Do you love colorful scenes too?

Here I used Cloud Cover cardstock for my base; scored it an extra time to create a flap near the center. This is a great way to add the main element of your card. In this case it's a stamped and colored tree scene on our new Party Banner dies.

I found the Peaceful Pier stamp set seen here to be perfect for my scenes. It's a great line-art set you don't have to color in, as you can see in my example.

Here is the free project sheet with measurements and supplies listed: Click on the following link to download it. Download Peaceful Pier fun fold scene

I am now adding my project sheets to my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group the same day I share the live video. Click here to join the group.

I used these inks for blending; from bottom to top – Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Cloud Cover. Blending brushes make it easy to add ink smoothly. But there are tricks to it!

Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes. I hope you watch it!

New Catalog Party Displays!

January 13, 2026

It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

Bonus days are here!

New Catalog card swaps video

January 12, 2026

On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.

Bonus days are here!

12 Days of Crafting PDF is ready!

January 8, 2026

I don’t know why I put it off because I truly enjoyed playing and creating with my 12 Days of Crafting kit.

It became available a few months back and there are still some left! See it here.

I couldn’t share the projects until after Christmas because some people did open it as an advent kit and did not want any sneak peeks. But it’s ready now and I can finally share the projects!

This incredible crafting kit is filled with tons of never before seen products like 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, multiple pre-cut pieces, new DSP, embellishments, twine & so much more.
I used a few inks along with the products in the kit to create 12 pretty cards. The PDF tutorial is free to anyone who purchases the kit from me (and my Team of course).

The PDF is available on my Tutorial Shop here for $16.

Bonus days are here!
