Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

Her measurements are:

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
  • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s


    Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

    First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

    Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
    • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

    Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

    Candace made this next card – a double box card! 

    She used the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  It's a great 2-step set with lots of possibilities.  Her colors include Strawberry Slush, Black, Gray and White.  The Designer Paper is the Botanical Textures; also in our Online Store here. 

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 1", 2", 3" & 4"
    • Strawberry Slush textured layers – 3 at 7/8" X 5 1/4", 1 at 7/8" X 3 7/8"
    • White front 2 7/8" X 3 7/8", back is 3 3/4" X 5"

  • Pretty yet simple Gallery Blooms card with video tutorial & free project sheet.


    I shared two pretty cards featuring the Gallery Blooms bundle on last week's video.  The first was shared here.  And this is the second one:

    Both featured the bundle and two main colors – Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia.  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials set seen here.  I'm so glad it didn't retire! 

    Get the measurements for this card on the free project sheet below. 

    There's also a third card (top left) that I'll share tomorrow. 

    I stamped the flowers on the Fresh Freesia layer to create a background pattern and used the same for the inside of the card. The two sets of flowers are stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the coordinating dies. 

    This Gallery Blooms bundle comes with the stamp set and the coordinating dies and it's part of the Suite Sale of Buy one Get one 1/2 off.  See it here. 

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it.   Download Gallery Blooms Thank you

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.  I hope you'll watch it; and subscribe to my YouTube Channel!
