More WOW swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with measurements

February 17, 2024

Okay; are you as amazed by this card as I am?! Candace made this with the Submarine Life bundle.

The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image. Incredible!

I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive. She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle!

Measurements:

Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.
Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom. Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
Back white is 3" X 3 3/8"

This is a total 'WOW' card; don't you agree? Candace is an incredible designer and LOVES swapping!

Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial

June 1, 2026

I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

Save

It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

Save

It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

Save

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

May 28, 2026

Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

Save

Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

Save

Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

Save

Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

Save

We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

Save

I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.
