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.

  • Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!


    Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park!  Look at these: 

    The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  You can see it here. 

    Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!?  That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.  

    Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.  

    Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.  

    She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine.  *See that folder here. 

    That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog.  It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers. 

    Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

  • Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!


    I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much!  This first one features the True Love designer paper: 

    It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need.  They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

    You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here.  The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.  

    There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper.  The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years.  Click here to get this kit. 

    **You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

    The kit includes the following:

    • Box supplies; cut & scored
    • 5-6 pre-cut cards
    • Tags; punched and ready for stamping
    • Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)

    It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.  

    I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work.  You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.

  • Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!


    I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

    I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

    For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

    Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.  

    1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
    2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
    3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
    4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
    5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

    ~~~~

    Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent. 

    Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

    I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

    If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!
