December 9, 2025

Today is the last day to get in on the Cyber Monday sale on Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

November 21, 2024

This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap. This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose. I do love swapping!

We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity!

The first group are January through June:

Save

This next group is July through December:

Save

They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares.

Here's how I decorated the front of mine: I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies. I trimmed the corners to match the coaster.

Save

Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month.

These are January through June:

Save

And these are July through December:

Each one is fabulous! I love seeing everyone's personal style.

More swaps from my talented Demo friends

November 20, 2024

I have a few more swaps to share with you today. These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products.

First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

Save

This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder! It's so cool. You can see it here in my store.

In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock. Yes; it is incredible!

Save

The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite:

This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

Save

That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here.

Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in. I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.
