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. 

May Rita Botanical Save

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.

  • Spring Punched Banner; cute home decor piece!

    I haven't shared this project yet; it was the bonus project many of my gals received in their Spring Retreat package.   It's made with the Pleased as Punch designer paper; it was free during Sale-a-Bration earlier this year.

    To create the banners I first cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" long X 3 1/2" wide.  Then I made a mark at the center of the short end and cut from that mark to the opposite corner.  Then I had my template!  

    I added lots and lots of punched pieces!  I used the Umbrella punch, the Tulips punch, Daisy, Leaf, Butterfly Duo, the Small Bloom punch and the Heart Punch pack.  A few of the banners are textured too.  It would be fun to hang this in your craft room or on a window .

  • More fun fold cards!

    Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  They are amazing! 

    First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

    May Candace Poppy Save

    This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold.  Here's a video I made for it: 

    The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste!  And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

    Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock.  Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4".  Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

    DoubleTrianglesStep02 Save

    Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half.  Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

    May Candace Poppy Save

    Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle.  I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!
