Three more background ideas on these Team swap cards

July 14, 2023

Our Flowerbug's Team card swap theme was to create our own backgrounds. I shared three cards yesterday and here are three more:

Yellow is the underlying color on each of these swaps which is a perfect color for summertime. First is a pretty card in a blue & yellow combo by Candy.

Save

She stamped the Timeless Tile background stamp and then textured it with an embossing folder. She also used the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Her colors include Misty Moonlight & Daffodil Delight. Such a beautiful card!

~~~

Next is a card made by Jacki with the Hello Ladybug stamp set & Ladybug Builder punch.

Save

She stamped her background with the daisy image in the stamp set, heat embossing it with White embossing powder. It sure pops on the Black card stock! She added Daffodil Delight & White card stock for a poppin' color combo.

I LOVE her bumble bee! She used the punch for the body (adding Daffodil Delight strips to the Black body) and the wings are punched from Window Sheets. So clever and fun.

Next is another pretty card made by Paula. She featured the Petal Park, Two-Tone Flora and Timeless Arrangements stamp sets.

Save

Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Black, White & Old Olive, stamped off. She added a few Brass Butterflies and our Black & White gingham ribbon.

I'll share the rest of our swaps next week. Have a great weekend!

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
