Sweet & Simple Treat pouch with free project sheet & video

February 16, 2026

I shared this neat treat pouch on last week’s Live video. It’s super simple and requires a 6″ X 12″ sheet of designer paper.

I made one before and one during the video. The left pouch above features the Made with Love designer paper. The right one uses the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer series paper.

What I like about this is there’s no special measuring; just score on the lines on the template in the project sheet seen below. The belly band makes closure easy and you can decorate the front in any way you’d like. It’s 1 1/4″ X 10 1/2″. Watch the video to see how I form it around the pouch. There’s no need to score it; just bend at the folds leaving a bit of room for sliding it off.

I used the 1 3/4″ circle punch and the To the Point punch. The greetings are from the Words of Beauty bundle seen here. The little heart punch is retired.

I created a free project sheet with template for you. Click here to download it or print it.

You can watch the short video below.

LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!

March 15, 2024
I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's. Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards.

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable. The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th. The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April.

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.

Save

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here. It also includes a sheet of White in the pack. This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front.

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A.

Save

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front. What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here. It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

Save

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool!

Measurements:
- Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line. You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it.
- Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
- Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
- DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across. The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"
Next is a neat card made by Rita.

Save

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
- DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"
I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques.

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set.

Save

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image. Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors. She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes!

I'll share more team swaps next week!

Beautiful Online Exclusive card swaps

March 14, 2024

We held our monthly Team Gathering and our swap theme was to feature Online Exclusive products. Honestly our current line of OE products is amazing. Did you know there are over 90 items? Be sure to check them out here.

Joan made this first one with the In My Heart stamp set seen here.

Save

Her coloring is amazing! I believe she used Blends markers for the scene. She used two sizes of the Deckled Circles and her background is made with the Foursquare decorative masks seen here. She used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink to create that gorgeous, striking background. Her colors are Orchid Oasis & Sweet Sorbet – both of these In Colors are retiring in early April!

Here's how she finished the inside:

Next is a stunning card made by Tracey. She chose the Courage & Faith stamp set in the Annual catalog; see it here.

Save

I just love how this layout shows off the pretty Meandering Meadows designer paper!

Measurements: Each of the designer paper pieces are 2 1/2" X 1 1/4". This allows you to make two cards with each 6 X 6" piece of DSP. The greeting is stamped on a the Scalloped Contours diecut seen here.

Next is a wonderful card perfect for either guys or gals. It features the Trucking Along bundle seen here.

Save

I love the stamped and textured background! She also used the Deckled Circles (in low inventory) and the Basics 3D embossing folders – both can be seen in our Online Exclusive line here.   The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies

Stay tuned for more swaps tomorrow!
