3 fun fold cards celebrating Strawberry Slush!


I have THREE neat fun fold cards from our June Team card swap.  My Flowerbug's did an incredible job on their fun fold cards!  

First up is Sharon's card featuring the Cheers & Sips bundle seen here. 

The top card base layer is scored to creates a box that pops up & supports the front panel. Super neat! 

She added Fine Tip Glue to her fussy cut drinks for some shine.  To do this you need to let it set awhile to dry. I'd recommend two layers.  If you don't want it to get a bit curvy from the liquid in the glue, add a layer of card stock under it.  

Her inside greeting is from the Unbounded Love set.  The gems are from the Holographic Resin dots.

Measurements:

  • Strawberry Slush card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 7 3/4"
  • front CS panel 2 3/4" X 4"
  • DSP 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 5 3/8", pieces under the greeting are 2 3/4" X 1 1/4", 2 3/4" X 1/4" and inside is 2 3/4" X 1 1/4" 
  • inside White panel 2 3/4" X 4"

Next is a neat Latch card made by Kathy who used the Sweet Jar bundle seen here. 

Her colors include Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. The Designer Paper is from the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here. 

The front flap opens up to reveal another panel that she stamped with coffee beans and the die-cut from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies (now retired).

And the front panel open up too!  

Measurements:

  • card base 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White panels X 3 – 2 3/4" square; inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Strawberry Slush square 3"
  • 2 1/2" X 1" scored at 1 1/4" connecting piece

~~~

And now for the final card today. This one was made by Paula and was cased from Heidi Colins.  It's called a Buckle card:

She used the Floral Impressions DSP on the front and cut a window in the front panels so the buckle could slip in.  

Products used include the Stylish Shapes dies, Swirly EF, In Color flat pearls, and Brass Butterflies.

Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 4" X 5 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 1/2" 
  • buckle 4 1/2" X 1 1/4" scored at 1/2"
  • largest circle is 2 1/8" but Paula recommends slightly larger

  • A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden


    I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

    I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

    This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

    Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

    I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

    Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

    It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

  • An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

    Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

    I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
    My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

    There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

    What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

    I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

    I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!
