We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you. 

First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here. 

Save

She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting.  Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together! 

There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper. 

Save

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side.  Very cool.  It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too. 

Measurements:

• Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Calypso Coral is 4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
• White textured layer is 3"X 3 3/4" (done with Basics 3D embossing folder) & inside is 2 3/4" X 4"

Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here.  It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here. 

Save

Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie.  That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink. 

Measurements:

• Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies)

• Beautiful Sunrise Sailing card with multiple techniques and free project sheet

  June 30, 2025

  ---

  Today is the last day of the June Specials:

  • BOGO sale on all Suite products seen here
  • Free Celebratory Sips tutorial for all online orders (seen below)

  Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards.  It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

  Save

  I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. 

  Save

  My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once!  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

  Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock.  I show how in the video below.  I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush. 

  Save

  Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above.  This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical. 

  I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .

  You'll find the video tutorial for this card and another Sailing card below. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're watching!  

  I'll share another card with this bundle on Wednesday.

• 3 more pretty fun fold cards for you with measurements; one is a sneak peek of upcoming product!

  June 27, 2025

  ---

  I hope you're enjoying the awesome fun fold cards I've been sharing this week.  My Flowerbugs Team swaps were incredible this month!  Our theme was to make fun fold cards featuring a new In Color. 

  First up today is Candy's card which features Secret Sea with Cloud Cover & Vanilla. 

  Save

  She used the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  It's one of my favorites!  She created her own background using the stamps in the set and Secret Sea ink – stamping off first for some. 

  Measurements:

  • 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Vanilla panels 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • Cloud Cover 1 1/8" X 5 1/4"
  • greeting die-cut 2 1/4" X 3/4", layer is 2 3/8" X 7/8" 

  Save

  The textured panel is done with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder seen here.

  ~~~

  Next is a lovely card made by Ginny featuring the Beautiful Gallery designer paper seen here.  It's part of our Suite BOGO sale too; in fact the entire suite is included!  

  Save

  Her layout shows off the entire scene pictured on the DSP. This fold is perfect for scenic papers! 

  Measurements:

  • Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
  • White is 2" X 5 1/4"
    
    Save
    
    

  Lastly we have a sneak peek of some upcoming product from Kim. She used a suite featured in a Demo event called Creativity Now this month. She was able to pre-order the Peaceful Garden suite items that will be in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September, 2025. 

  Save

  Her card is a simple Z-fold that really shows off that front White textured panel.  And look how the die-cut greeting label fits in that embossing panel! *notice those new flower gems….

  She did a neat technique for her greeting panel. She used Secret Sea ink and a Blending Brush over an entire sheet of White card stock. Then she stamped and die-cut the label and the inside sprig from that. Super idea!

  Measurements:

  • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • White front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
