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. 

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!

Save

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.

• Butterfly Kisses fun fold card with Enamel Effects

  Here's the last fun fold card I made in last week's FB Live video.  Each one featured the Butterfly Kisses designer paper and the Charming Sentiments bundle.

  The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

  You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.

• Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses

  September 2, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool! 

  Save

  Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

  Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?  

  Save

  I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

  The measurements are in the photo below: 

  Save

  I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.
