Lori’s card shows that the Sunshine & Tulips bundle is a big WOW

January 29, 2026

My January Team swap included cards from our newest product offerings – the 2026 Spring catalog and our Online products. Lori chose to feature the Sunshine & Tulips bundle.

Isn’t it gorgeous?! Her colors include Pool Party, Azure Afternoon, Gold & Shaded Spruce. The paper behind the tulip die-cuts is the Splash of Sparkles specialty paper seen here. It’s filled with amazing colors and patterns!

This large, stitched edge die-cut is in the bundle. It also includes outline dies for both the tulips and leaves. You can see her tulip die-cuts above – in multiple colors including gold! See this special & unique bundle here.

Here’s what she did for the inside of her card; so cute!

Thank you for the amazing card Lori!

Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial

March 17, 2023
I shared this special card on a recent FB Live. It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.

It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite!

Save

When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it. I show how on the video below.

This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line!

Measurements:
- Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
- White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
- Polished Pink 4”
- Parakeet Party 1” X 4
Save

I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading! Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below. It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

March 16, 2023
Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets. Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.

Save

I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners. This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all. I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving.

The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

My measurements are:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
- Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
- White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

March 15, 2023
We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs. It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here.

Save

I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?

Save

In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats. It makes a world of difference! *Catch the tips in the video below.

Save

*Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

Measurements:
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
- Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
- White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
- DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”
I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings. It has some fabulous images; see it here.
