More beautiful Team swaps for Autumn

September 19, 2025

First up is a fun fold card made by Paula:

This pretty stamp is part of the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set seen here. She colored the image in with Blends markers. Beautiful work Paula!

I don’t remember seeing a fold like this card before. I love that the main panel on the left is accented by the DSP panel on the right.

Here are her measurements:
– card base 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″ & 9 1/8″
– left panel – vanilla 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″, Early Espresso 3″ X 5″
– right panel – DSP 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, Early Espresso layer 3″ X 4″
– Vanilla inside 3 3/4″ X 5″

Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:

Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

~~~

Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

Measurements:
– Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″
– Daffodil Delight 2″ X 5 1/4″ for the left panel, inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
– Black square 3″
– White front square 2 3/4″, Inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

May 19, 2025

We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World. We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!

I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow.

This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there. A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

Save

The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

Save

I had to get a picture with Sara (SU CEO) with the paper chain background!

Our friends, Dan & Lori Heiling, Susie & Deke Wood and us at Hollywood Studios.

Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

May 16, 2025

Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store. Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog? They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.

This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap. I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat. She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist.

Save

Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set. The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.

Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock.

Save

She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months! I hope it comes back soon. It is expected around June 2nd.

Here's the view when it's open:

Save

The card base is 11" X 5 1/2". It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7". Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines.

The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".

It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer. So cool! No difficulty measuring your layers when you do it this way.

~~~

Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle. I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

Save

Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies! I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.

Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.
