It\u2019s inspiring, energising, and honestly one of my favourite parts of being a demonstrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year I\u2019ve been working on my swap cards using the&nbsp;<strong>Cute as a Bug Suite<\/strong>, and I couldn\u2019t resist those adorable little ladybugs. The suite is bright, cheerful, and perfect for creating happy cards that make people smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-blue-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-detail-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cute-as-a-bug-gingham-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For my swaps, I kept the design fun, while making sure it was simple enough to reproduce in multiples (because swap cards definitely need to be repeatable!). I love how the playful bugs add personality, and the colours really pop. I think my favourite detail are the tiny strawberries. They are so adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swapping cards at events is one of the best ways to see so many different ideas using the same products. It\u2019s amazing how creative everyone is, and I always come home with so much inspiration for future projects and classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also really looking forward to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seeing the upcoming catalogue sneak peeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learning new ideas and techniques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Catching up with stamping friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And of course\u2026 bringing home lots of creative inspiration!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve never been to a Stampin\u2019 Up! event before, it really is something special. The energy in the room is incredible and it reminds me why I love being part of this creative community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be sharing more from\u00a0<strong>OnStage Sydney<\/strong>\u00a0soon, including some of the swaps I receive and any exciting announcements. So stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, happy stamping! &#x1f49b;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jen <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things I love most about being part of the Stampin\u2019 Up! community is the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164\/revisions\/169"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inspiredbyboerdom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
