Great cards made with the Celebration Expression Memories & More pack

April 3, 2026

I hadn’t touched the Celebration Expression Memories & More cards yet; so I found an hour or so to create these:

Aren’t they fun? These printed Memories & More cards come in both 4″ X 6″ and 3″ X 4″ cards. They are discounted and retiring! See them here. I did use the ‘Memories & More cards and envelopes’ as the card bases which made it super simple. These cards are a nice size – 4 1/4″ X 6 1/4″ which is larger than our traditional size. They are now in the last chance list and retiring soon!

You’re likely wondering where the greetings came from. And I didn’t stamp a thing! Each of the greetings came from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. These are fabulous! They’re also discounted, in low inventory right now and will likely retire soon. See them here.

I’ll share these cards in sets of 4 next:

I did add a few layers of card stock on these cards to bring some solid backgrounds to the greetings. I also added some rhinestone gems & ribbons – Balmy Blue gingham, Timid Tiger 1/4″ and Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbons.

It was so much fun to simply play with the cards, layering them or adding CS strips here & there. What a perfect way to create without a lot of product. This would be perfect to take to a crop or crafty play day with friends.

Look at these fabulous floral cards!

July 21, 2021

Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July:

First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here. She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves. That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle. There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set!

Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well. Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.

Next is a pretty card by Marilyn. She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here. She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.

Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather. She colored in her floral image with Blends markers. Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!

Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies. That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.

Save

Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card! The greeting is one of my very favorites.

I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper

July 20, 2021

This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow. It could be a lot, or just a little. We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'. I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!

This first card was made by Barb. She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.

Save

I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper! What a well coordinated card! I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring. And look at her inside! She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!

Save

Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper. You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.

She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set. She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.

Right Behind You; so cute!

July 19, 2021
I chose the Right Behind You stamp set for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month. Here's my card:

This set is adorable! And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it.

Details:
- I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
- I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds. Get my tips on this in the video below or click here.
- I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket.
- The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die.
- I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
- I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle.
- The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink.

As you can see it's an easy fun fold card. Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card. Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.

Click on the video below to watch me make this card; it's the first project on this FB Live replay. *You can also see how I made the Pinwheel Tower cards in the photo below.
