Pretty card with a unique layout and new Spring Catalog products

December 30, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog:

Isn’t it pretty? My colors include Pecan Pie with Basic Beige and a small strip of the Nature’s Walk designer series paper.

The stamp & dies bundle is called Nature’s Symphony. The textured triangle is the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. The greeting is from the new Prayer’s & Promises stamp set – it’s a wonderful new set for sympathy or thinking of you greetings. The greeting is the Labeled with Love punch seen here.

I’ll be sharing lots more new product in the next few weeks. In fact, in my weekly Live video today at 11 am CT I’ll share ALL of the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives too. Join me here! Don’t forget to follow me so you’ll be notified with I go Live.

This layout is simply one extra ‘diagonal half’ of a 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock added to the card front. Easy but has a unique look to it. This could be designer paper or card stock like I did here.

Below is the video tutorial I shared last week. It includes a second fun fold card as well.

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.

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.

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:

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!

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.

Adorable Turtle-y Cute fun fold card

May 15, 2025
Last weekend we held our monthly Team swap and Lori made this super cute card.

It's a vertical book binding card fold. I love how this fold allows you to show off so much fun products like the DSP and the embossing folder. Her turtle & balloon are fussy cut from the Turtle-y Cute DSP.

She used the Turtle-y Cute suite seen here. So many fun elements! Unfortunately the Turtle Textures embossing folder is currently unavailable.

Measurements:
- Base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score 1 3/4", 3 1/4" & 4 1/4"
- yellow is 2 5/8" X 5 1/2"
- green textured 2 3/8" X 5 1/4"
- DSP 2 pieces at 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- white inside 2 1/8" X 5 1/4"
- banner greeting 2 3/4" X 7/8"
