Here are two more cards made by my talented Flowerbugs! Both used the Expressions in Ink suite. 

Candace made this first one using a nice piece of the beautiful Expressions in Ink specialty DSP.  She stamped her greeting and leaves directly onto the DSP using Evening Evergreen ink.  


Then she stamped the large flower on a separate piece of White CS and die-cut it out using the Artistic Dies.  Lovely!

Tracey made this one using just the Artistically Inked stamp set.  She stamped all of her images on the White CS and added that to a layer of textured White CS.  She used the Timber 3D embossing folder.  

You can see she added a bit of sponging to the embossed layer to really bring out the texture.

  • Gorgeous cards with my ‘5 at a time’ templates! Free project sheet, templates & video tutorial


    I shared these beautiful cards on last week’s Live video. They were a big hit!

    I love making cards with my 5 at a time templates. Making the most of my card stock gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I hope you’ll save these templates and use them in your own crafting.

    Below is the template I stamped on; it’s slightly smaller than the one I used for layering. I often use this or the larger one for the neutral layers inside my cards.

    Tip: I recommend making your first cut vertically at 4 3/4″. Then cut the left 3 pieces into 3 1/2″ layers. Once you cut all 5 pieces you’ll have one small piece left for a greeting or for punching.

    Next is the template for layering the above ‘stamped’ pieces on. It’s just slightly larger – 1/8″ so it’s quite a narrow margin.

    The above template has even less waste! It’s so nice to get 5 layered card pieces from 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Please save these templates!!

    In the past when I made cards with these templates I stamped before cutting the 5 pieces apart. This was a bit tricky to stamp in the right place. This time I cut my pieces before I stamped on them. *Always start with your greetings!

    As you can see I made sure I stamped three pieces landscape and two vertical. This isn’t necessary but it does change your cards up a bit.

    I used Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger; and Pretty Peacock here. I like adding Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler to my fall cards. The stamp set is called Gathering Moments seen here.

    Tip on stamping – always stamp the greeting image first. Then start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest to fill in any gaps. It’s okay to overlap your images.

    As you can see I blended a light wash of Timid Tiger over the stamped leaves. This softens the appearance and truly enhances your stamping.

    Here you can see the stamped pieces added to the larger layers from the 2nd template above.

    These were made simply with no punches or die-cuts. Sometimes it’s fun to just stamp and create. You can easily add the greetings on another layer (punches or die-cuts) to add more dimension.

    I’ll share my second set of cards using this template later this week. And I’ll also show the fabulous card box I made to gift them in!

    See how pretty they are once they’re added to the card bases and gems and twine have been added.

    I created a free project sheet that includes directions, photos, templates and supplies. Click here to download or print it. Please save this one!!

  • Look at these 2 beautiful cards with the Autumn Toile Designer paper


    These pretty fall themed cards were made by my talented Flowerbug’s for our September Autumn themed card swap. They both feature the gorgeous Autumn Toile designer series paper from the 2025 Holiday catalog.

    This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

    Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

    Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

    Measurements are:
    – Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 5 1/4″.
    – DSP on left is 3″ X 5 1/4″, DSP in the center is 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
    – Vanilla on the right inside is 3″ X 5 1/4″
    – largest circle is3 7/8″, DSP tree circle is 3 1/4″, Vanilla circle is 3 1/2″


    Next is a great card made by Ginny who also used the same exact sheet of paper in the Autumn Toile DSP pack.

    Her colors are Early Espresso with Very Vanilla. She stamped the greeting from the Amber Autumn bundle on the oval and added leaves from the Gathering Moments stamp set as well.

    Measurements:
    – card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    – Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″
    – Early Espresso 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
    – DSP 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″

    You can see this beautiful autumn paper here. I can see this going out of stock soon. It is one of my top selling products so far in September.
