Today I'm sharing the last batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme was to feature glitz, shine or glimmer.  They truly did their best to show off our beautiful specialty papers!

Jacki made this card using the Night Divine dies seen here.  *Unfortunately it's retiring and available while supplies last.

What a gorgeous card and the nativity die-cut is beautiful with the stars DSP background.  It's actually an easy fun fold too.  Unfortunately this pretty Shining Brightly designer paper is gone and out of stock. There are more products unavailable each day! The Last Chance list is brutal! *see all items retiring here.

• Stunning Amber Autumn card with free project sheet

  November 4, 2025

  ---

  This is the card we made at my October card clubs:

  Save

  Isn’t it beautiful? I got the idea from Akemi Geary from Everyday Stamping. I didn’t change much because I loved it that much.
  It features the Amber Autumn bundle seen here. That beautiful, detailed background die creates the gorgeous backdrop for the pretty colored images and you can also get multiple leaf die-cuts from it by clipping them apart.

  Save

  We colored them with Blends markers and added a few die-cut leaves from the Earthen toned Metallic paper seen here. A thin strip of Autumn Toile DSP, the Irregular ribbon & gems finished it off beautifully.

  Save

  I kept the inside quite simple by stamping a greeting from the Gathering Moments stamp set and adding the acorn & leaves image without coloring it.

  I created a free project sheet for you with photo, measurements and products used. Click here to download or print it.

• An Pillar fun fold card with Amber Autumn; with video & project tutorial

  November 3, 2025

  ---

  I love this fun fold card! So easy yet unique as well.

  Save

  I used the Amber Autumn stamp & dies bundle seen here. I was initially on the fence about this set; did I need another fall themed bundle? But wow; am I glad I bought it!
  See how I finished the back side?

  Save

  I used the large detailed die to add pretty borders to the sides. So pretty! It’s quite easy to snip a few of the connection points on the leaves. Here’s a photo of this pretty bundle:

  Save

  I created a different version on my video.

  Save

  Which one do you prefer? Notice that the pillar is on different sides of each card; do you have a preference?
  Both feature the Gathering Together specialty designer paper. I also used a bit of the Earthen Toned Metallic paper for the die-cut leaves.

  Save

  The card stock colors include Early Espresso, Vanilla and Timid Tiger.
  In the video I shared how to get some highlights on your colored image using the Color Lifter Blends marker.

  Here’s how the back looks on the Timid Tiger card:

  Be sure to watch the video tutorial for this fun fold card and my other project featuring the Amber Autumn bundle. It’s a gorgeous set of products!

It’s really just an order; you can decide how long you want to stay in later. There’s no need to sell or hold classes; just enjoy the discount! However if you do want to earn some extra $$ I am happy to help you in any way.
