Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

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!

Look at these fabulous swap cards!

August 31, 2021

We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!

This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper. You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet. Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating!

This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th. See it here.

And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold! These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle. See it here.

Save

Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards? Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle!

Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper. What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel! She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.

3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

August 30, 2021
Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper? It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it.

This photo does not do it justice! The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.

Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products. I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made! These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper.

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone.

Lots of details on this card:
- Stitched Whimsy dies
- Stitched Rectangle dies
- Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
- Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White
Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live. It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here.

Save

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces. The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS.

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't! Again, click here to see the video.

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. It's on an Everyday Label punch. She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!

Summer Shadow dies & Shaded Summer; a beautiful pairing!

August 27, 2021

I'm sharing our Flowerbug Team swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration choices. This amazing card was created by Paula.

She used the Summer Shadow dies seen here along with the Shaded Summer stamp set. This stamp set is in the Annual Catalog on page 75 and the dies are a free choice during SAB/Sale-a-Bration. However remember that these dies are expected to sell out before the end of September when SAB ends. See them here.

This is also a fun fold card. Her Black card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is scored at 2 1/8" X 4 1/4". The front left panel is folded back.

Look at the many layers of die-cuts she added here! Lots of Vellum along with Polished Pink ink and Just Jade & Soft Succulent card stock & inks. Placing the die-cuts on Black really brings out the color & details.

Save

The designer paper on the left panel is from the Pattern Party 12 X 12 Host paper. It's one of the choices you get free with an order over $150; host rewards kick in at this level. See it here or on page 171 in the Annual catalog.

Have a great weekend everyone!
