Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards

July 13, 2023

I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next. Our theme was to create our own backgrounds. They came up with some amazing ideas. I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.

First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

Save

She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction. I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon!

Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.

She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies.

Save

She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight. She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too. I love these colors together!

~~~

And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?

Save

She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold. I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't. So cool and very precise too!

She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils.

She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here. She also stamped her envelope.

Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!
