Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle

November 28, 2025

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
– Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
– Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
– Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!

Check out the many OnStage gifts, new products & In Colors!!

March 19, 2024

I had a fantastic time at OnStage in Houston with some of my Team last weekend. We spent three full days there and enjoyed fabulous displays, presentations and more. I thought I'd share some of the photos, products and gifts I received.

Save

I'll share more in detail on my FB Live later today. See it here on my page or later on YouTube. I'll also share a bunch of swaps too!

Save

This was the ribbon display; it was huge and so pretty! Do you spy any new colors here??

Save

They did two walls of designer paper in rainbow colors. These are not grouped in their paper packs but in color hues. What do you think of the background color?

Now for some upcoming new products…. Remember these were gifts for OnStage attendees and are not available to others yet. The new Annual catalog goes live on May 1st, 2024.

And here are the 5 new BEAUTIFUL In Colors for 2024-2026.

Save

They're just fabulous and will be super popular! From left to right, their names are Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (yes it's back from years ago), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock.

I'll be offering a special in April on the In Color card stock, ink pads, refills, gems and more. Stay tuned for the details. I usually bundle it all and offer free ribbon or markers with purchase.

We have a new color wheel!!

Save

We had one many years ago and this tool can be super helpful to those who struggle with color combos. I'll be sharing ways to use this tool in the near future.

Below is most of what I received while there. A few items are from prize patrols and a bonus class and some were in our beautiful new backpack when we checked in. *do you spy anything that doesn't belong here?

Save

The big peach case is a super neat craft box! I'll share more details on most of these items in my video today.

Save

This was a bundle I chose for my bonus class Thursday night. We received a bunch of products to create with including the new In Colors shown above. I love both the stamps & dies here!

Save

This was my Prize Patrol surprise – a set of 6" Lily Pond Lane designer. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite with a stamp set & dies bundle & pretty gems.

Here's a photo of the new & beautiful Annual Catalog cover:

Simply Zinnias dies are the focus of this easy fun fold

March 18, 2024

I shared this striking card on last week's Live video. I focused on the Flowering Zinnias suite.

Save

My colors include Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Black, Flirty Flamingo & White.

I textured the Melon Mambo layer with the new Zinnia 3D embossing folder and created the two flowers & leaves from the Simply Zinnias dies. See all of the Zinnia products here.

The greeting is from the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set seen here. I LOVE this set! It includes so many greetings I'd actually use!

LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!

March 15, 2024
I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's. Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards.

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable. The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th. The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April.

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.

Save

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here. It also includes a sheet of White in the pack. This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front.

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A.

Save

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front. What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here. It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

Save

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool!

Measurements:
- Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line. You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it.
- Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
- Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
- DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across. The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"
Next is a neat card made by Rita.

Save

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
- DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"
I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques.

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set.

Save

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image. Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors. She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes!

I'll share more team swaps next week!
