If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team
Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.
This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.
It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base. So cool and smart! I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.
She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here. If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.
She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.
Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?) She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker!
It's a 'book-binding' card fold. Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.
Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.
The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Here is another fun fold card I made on last week's Tuesday video. If you'd like to watch me live, join me on Tuesday's at 11 am CT here on Facebook or see them later on my YouTube channel here.
This card features the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and a favorite card theme of 'Black & White with a pop of color'.
The pretty floral paper sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP chose the color theme. I fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add to my stitched circle die-cut. I mimicked the dots in the DSP and used the Dots & Spots die on a piece of the Fresh Freesia card stock.
This Delightfully Eclectic designer paper is on sale now in June. See it here.

Today's project is one I made for two reasons. One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap.
You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers. Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here. Here's what the full sheet looks like:
My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink. I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8". That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".
The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.
