Pretty card with a unique layout and new Spring Catalog products

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.

  This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

  Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

  See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

  Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.

  Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

  Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here.

  I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

  Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

  Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not. 

  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable! 

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

  This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers. 

  The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here. 

  Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous!

  Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.

  The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle. 

  Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works.

  Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

  Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.  

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
