2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!


Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

~~~

Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  


Measurements are: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
  • Evergreen layer 4" square

 

Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

Measurements:

  • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
  • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
  • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
  • Designer paper squares are 3"

Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

  • Unique Charming Day fun fold card with video tutorial


    I shared this cool fancy fold card on last week’s Live video.  It looks like an ordinary card at first glance… 

    I colored the main floral image with a Wink of Stella and ink from my ink pads.  Watch the video to see how it’s done.

    I featured the Floral Charm DSP that’s discounted right now during the In Color promotion.  See it here. It’s almost $2 off.  My favorite thing about it is the color coordination. Each pattern has a soft, matching back side.

    I also used the Charming Day bundle that coordinates with the DSP.  See that here. 

    Here’s how the card opens.  I’m calling it a double diagonal center fold card. The center stays in place but the outer triangles lift up and to the outside as shown below. 

    I have a complete project sheet for you with measurements, directions, supplies and photos.  The video tutorial will help you understand how to assemble this card; see it below.  Click on the following link to print or download this project sheet: Download Double Diagonal Center fold cards

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another super neat fun fold card; both featuring this beautiful paper and Charming Day bundle.

  • These pretty cards are the last of the Monochromatic Team swaps


    I’ve been sharing our Team swaps this week that all feature a Monochromatic theme. This means the colors should include hues of similar colors. 

    First is a pretty and soothing card made by Jacki.   

    She used the Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Her colors include Very Vanilla with Crumb Cake.  Her greeting is from the  stamp set seen here.  

    I love how the grass image repeats itself on the Vanilla layer in the background.  

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, 3″ X 4 1/4″
    • Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″, 2 3/4″ X 4″ 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty wedding or anniversary card made by Marla.  

    She used the Lifetime of Love stamp set seen here and the coordinating dies seen here.  I love how these delicate dies inlay so perfectly.

    Her colors include Navy, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake & White. She also used a new embossing folder called Jolly Holly Hybrid seen here.  These leaves allow her to lift them a bit to add more dimension. 

    The Designer paper is 2 5/8″ wide and is the Country Lace pack and is discounted and on the Last Chance list now.  See it here. 

    ~~~

    And lastly is this soft & pretty card made by Paula. 

    Her card features the blue tones of Blueberry Bushel with Azure Afternoon. Her stamp sets are Elements of Text seen here and Textured Notes seen here. The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set seen here. 

    I hope you enjoyed seeing the beautiful Monochromatic swaps this week.  I have a super talented team!

  • Two great Fun-fold card swaps today


    Today I’m sharing two more of my Flowerbug Team swaps and both are fun fold layouts.  Our theme was Monochromatic cards and these cards include similar colors.  

    First is Kim’s card featuring the Peace on Earth bundle that’s coming in the new 2025 Holiday catalog in September; just a few weeks away!  The long leaves die-cut is from the Memorable Blooms dies but is now retired.  

    Her colors include Cloud Cover with Pretty Peacock & White.  For the large oval die-cuts she used the Impressions Abloom dies seen here.  The Damask Designs embossing folder was used on the Cloud Cover 2-toned card stock panel. 

    Measurements:

    • card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″
    • 2-toned CS textured panel 2 1/2″ X 4″
    • Peacock inside 5 1/4″ X 4″ 

    Here’s how her card opens:  These doves in this upcoming bundle are so pretty.  Perfect for sympathy, wedding or other events.

    Next is a cute card made by Candy featuring the Jar of Joy stamp set seen here.  It coordinates with the Sweet Jar punch seen here. 

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party & White. Embossing folders are So Swirly & Damask Designs. Dies are Nested Essentials and Textured Notes. 

    It’s a neat fun fold card that opens up from each side: 

    She’s calling it a ‘Buckle Fold card’. Here are her measurements:

    • Peacock card base 6 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/4″, latch strip is 5 1/4″ X 2″ score at 2 3/4″
    • Pool Party 2″ X 5 1/4″
    • Lost Lagoon die-cut 2 3/8″ X 3″
    • White inside 4″ X 5 1/4″,  Textured Notes greeting die-cut

    Tomorrow I’ll share the last of our Monochromatic swaps!
