Fantastic card with the Merry Christmas stamp with a free project sheet & video

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.

Here are two more cards made by my talented Flowerbugs! Both used the Expressions in Ink suite.

Candace made this first one using a nice piece of the beautiful Expressions in Ink specialty DSP. She stamped her greeting and leaves directly onto the DSP using Evening Evergreen ink.

Save

Then she stamped the large flower on a separate piece of White CS and die-cut it out using the Artistic Dies. Lovely!

Tracey made this one using just the Artistically Inked stamp set. She stamped all of her images on the White CS and added that to a layer of textured White CS. She used the Timber 3D embossing folder.

Save

You can see she added a bit of sponging to the embossed layer to really bring out the texture.

What’s Cookin’ & All For Baby card ideas

November 26, 2021

Today I'm sharing two cards made by sisters on my Flowerbugs Team. They're so talented and I love to see what they make for our swaps.

First is an amazing card made by Jonna. She used the What's Cookin' bundle seen here. I LOVE her colors and how she created a tablecloth from the patterned paper by placing it on an angle.

Save

She stamped & die-cut the cooking elements and added it to the 'table'. The White background is textured with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

The greeting is stamped and punched out with the Everyday Label punch. It's neat how she used it vertically instead of the usual way.

Next is a sweet baby card made by Jacki featuring the All for Baby bundle seen here. Her colors are Just Jade & Basic White. The baby outfit is stamped in Just Jade ink and die-cut; then added with the hanger die-cut. The designer paper is from our In color patterned paper packs – we have 6 sets of these in all of our color families.

Save

That little rhinestone on the hanger is a great addition. I love the simplicity of this card; it really showcases the outfit & greeting.

Gorgeous Blackberry Beauty card swaps

November 25, 2021
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and family.

Save

There really isn't a better word for the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer paper. Gorgeous just fits.

Today I'm sharing two fabulous card ideas made by two of my Flowerbug Team members.

First is Annette's pretty card. I think my favorite thing is how she made the amazing designer paper the star of the card. You don't need to add much to make a card shine with this Blackberry Beauty paper! See it here.

Save

She added a stitched rectangle die-cut in Blackberry Bliss for her greeting, heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. That thinner strip of Gold foil brings your focus back to the greeting. I love the 3 Elegant Faceted gems on the left too.

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Brenda.

Save

She trimmed off 1 1/4" off the right edge of the card base and textured it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Then she adhered it back onto the 'inside' of the card.

I like how she layered the greeting strip with another piece of this designer paper. Look at the added detail of the thin strip of Brushed Gold paper.

Save

Measurements:
- Blackberry Bliss card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Trim off 1 1/4" off the edge
- DSP 5" X 2 1/2", 1" X 4 1/4" strip
- Cinnamon Cider 3" X 2 3/4", 3/4" X 4" greeting strip
- inside piece 2 1/3" X 4 3/4"
- Gold strip 1/4" X 5 1/2"
