3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!

April 19, 2021

I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog. But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents.

You'll find the video below. For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.

I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT. Join me here!

This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another.

The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White. The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays. The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog.

Next is an accordion style card. I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold.

Save

This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog.

Save

Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below.

The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White. The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.

Here's the video for you; enjoy!

Beautiful Traditions of Christmas kit to go or tutorial; reserve yours soon

October 9, 2025
One of my October kits to go & tutorials features the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas designer paper. Each card is a fun fold too!

Save

I love the floral and traditional patterns in this pack of specialty paper. It has gold foil accents and a wonderful variety of colors.

You can choose between the pre-cut kit to go or the PDF tutorial. The kit includes almost $20 in Stampin’ Up! products AND the pre-cut cards too. The product includes 1/2 pkg of the DSP, a share of Sparkly Sequins and Olive linen thread.

I include the die-cuts & punched pieces too. Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper share which is 6″ X 12″ – or one half package. You will need your own inks and greeting sentiments plus adhesives of course.

Opt in for the pre-cut kit to go here for $31.

Or the PDF tutorial here. The tutorial and exclusive video will be emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step instructions.

Remember that there are two more kit to go options in October; I’ll share them here in the next few days. Or to see them please go to my shop at www.flowerbugshop.com You’ll save money on shipping when you purchase more than one kit.

I finished the Handmade & Heartfelt kit; it’s so cool!

October 8, 2025
I played with this fun kit yesterday and made 13 cards! This neat card kit is discounted through today only. It would make a fabulous gift or enjoy it for yourself. see it here

Save

It’s a 10 card kit with envelopes, a stamp set, a storage box, ink spot and more. I added a few extra card bases and got an extra 3 cards from it.
Here are my bonus cards:

See the lower right card? I used the template from the lower left card to sponge Secret Sea ink through the holes to create the starburst pattern. When I did this I did it on the back side so I could still use it on the ‘thanks’ card.

Save

Below are a few more cards I changed up from the original plan. It’s so fun to do this. Even though it’s a pre-planned card kit I love adding my own spin on them.

Save

The cards, envelopes, stamp set etc all fit in the organizer box that’s includes. What a great way to store your cards! See this kit here.

Artistic Leaves with Gathering Together with an easy card sketch plan

October 7, 2025
Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. I wanted to feature a card sketch my Flowerbug’s are currently using.

Save

Besides the Artistic Leaves stamp set I also used the Gathering Moments bundle and the Gathering Together specialty designer paper with this sketch:

Save

You might wonder what a sketch is… It’s a layout of boxes or shapes to indicate where you might add layers such as card stock, designer paper, punches or die-cuts.

My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Gold and Vanilla.

Save

Here’s the sketch if you want to save it for an idea. I truly believe card sketches are a fabulous way to get inspiration when creating. Remember that a sketch is just the beginning; you can change it up in any way depending on what products you’re using.

The measurements are also include in the free project sheet I created. Click here to download or print it.

I hope you watch the video below to catch the tips and also to see the other beautiful autumn leaf card.
