More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!

October 16, 2025

Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!

Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts

January 13, 2020

Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other. I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video

January 9, 2020
This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards. I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video)

If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
