Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite


Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store.  Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog?  They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.  

This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap.  I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat.  She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist. 

Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set.  The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  

Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock. 

She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months!  I hope it comes back soon.  It is expected around June 2nd. 

Here's the view when it's open: 

The card base is 11" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines. 

The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".  

It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer.  So cool!  No difficulty measuring your layers  when you do it this way.

Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle.  I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies!  I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.  

Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.

  • Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!


    At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

    I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

    The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

    You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

    In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

    If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free! 

    ~~~

    This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim. 

    These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green. 

    ~~~

    Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

    The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    ~~~

    I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.  

    The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set. 

    ~~~

    I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here. 

    These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

    Which is your favorite??

    ~~~

    And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.  

    The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!  

    Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order!  Details are below.

    Here's the video below:

  • CUTE Halloween cards


    Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards.  Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

    This first card was made by Lori.  She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies. 

    The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here.  This punch is on back order until October 11th.  But you CAN still order it. 

    I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here.  And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors. 

    Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set.  See it here. 

    That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:

    • Double Oval punch
    • Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
    • Parisian Flourish 3D folder

    I can see this stamp set be used all year.  These cats are hilarious and so true to life!
