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.

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.

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!

Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

Save

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
