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.

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)

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.

August 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few of our August Flowerbug's Team swaps. Our theme was to create a card without a greeting on the front. It was quite the challenge for some of us!!

First is a fractured card made by Karen. She shared how to make it and we were all blown away by how easy it is!

Save

I loved it so much I shared how to make it in a recent video. See it here and my blog post here.

She featured the Inked Botanicals designer paper and the Trucking Along bundle. The Truck builder punch is unavailable at this time; it will be back in October. Her card base & 1/4" strips are Calypso Coral. Love that truck full of flowers!

~~~

Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Cheerful Daisies bundle seen here.

Save

She added lots of die-cut daisies & leaves; some are sponged. She added the circles image (from Timeless Arrangements) using the Baby Wipe method. Love this look! And after stamping the circles she textured it with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders (online exclusive). Plus she colored the White glittered ribbon (another online exclusive) by sponging on color. So many great details!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Mary who featured the Darling Details bundle seen here.

Save

The pretty & delicate frame adds beautiful detail to the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in the center. Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry.

This wonderful bundle may have slipped your notice; here's a photo of both the stamp set & dies:

The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!

August 22, 2023

You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular. It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.

Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy! So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

Save

I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here. There are so many they have their own category!

This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper. The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper! No measuring needed!!

This pretty designer paper is in low inventory. Do you have it yet? It's just beautiful!

Save

My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.

Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock. You start at the upper center. Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off. *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success.

Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink.

Which do you prefer? One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.

I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.
