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.

Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors

May 24, 2024
Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

Save

She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper. The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D.

Measurements:
- White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
- Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
- Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
- DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper.

Save

Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here. She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.

~~~

Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash.

Save

She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!

It's a center fold pop up card! I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make. She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.

Save

Isn't this an amazing card? It looks so challenging to make!

I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video. I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula. You were right; this card was easier than I thought!

Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.

First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here. She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.

Save

Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic! The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back!

Fabulous Team Swaps!

May 22, 2024
We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made.

First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze. Gorgeous!! The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

Save

There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

Save

Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.

Save

See the stamp set here and the dies here. They were a bundle in the Spring catalog and carried over into the new Annual Catalog.

The designer paper is the Countryside Inn DSP seen here that carried over and is now online.

Save
