Save time on finishing the inside of your cards with this trick!

December 22, 2025

I’m excited to share these stunning snowflake cards with you today. We made them at my card clubs in December.
Living in North Dakota, we usually see a lot of snow in the winter so these cards are great for many occasions.

I used the Snowflake Kisses bundle seen here. It’s filled with wonderful greeting images and lots of snowflake dies.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Cloud Cover and Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia. I think blues & purples are perfect for snowflakes. We used a blending brush to add more color to the large snowflake die-cut.

After creating the cards above I thought I’d try combining the colors on the large die-cut.

Isn’t that pretty? I just love combining Gorgeous Grape with Pretty Peacock on the Fresh Freesia die-cut. Blending Brushes make this a breeze!

Look how we finished the inside.

I wanted to add snowflakes to the inside of the card but didn’t want to die-cut tons of them for my club gals. So I came up with creating a snowflake stencil.
I cut multiple snowflakes from a piece of card stock and we used Blending Brushes to add pretty snowflakes to our White layer. I truly love the effect it gives.

See how this card is made in the video below. I also shared a second Snowflake Kisses fun fold card.

AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card

August 25, 2023

We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

Save

Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it. What a huge 'WOW' card she made!

She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim.

Save

Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back. She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth.

I'm not sure how she cut the pockets. But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest. She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all. Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….

Save

All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it. See it here.

Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps

August 24, 2023
Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front. I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more:

First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

Save

She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!

Lots of details and textures here:
1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush.
2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer.
3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece as a second decorative element.
Measurements:
- Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
- Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"
~~~

Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper:

Save

It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front. But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper!

Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock? It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front. She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front. What a neat idea!

Here's the inside view. She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.

I believe her measurements are:
- DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.
- Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)
Save

Next is a book binding fun fold card made by Candy. She featured the Sweet & Precious stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock.

Measurements:
- Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
- DSP 1" X 4"
- Pretty Peacock 4" square
Details:
- She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers.
- The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies.
- The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
- The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.
