3 more pretty fun fold cards for you with measurements; one is a sneak peek of upcoming product!


I hope you're enjoying the awesome fun fold cards I've been sharing this week.  My Flowerbugs Team swaps were incredible this month!  Our theme was to make fun fold cards featuring a new In Color. 

First up today is Candy's card which features Secret Sea with Cloud Cover & Vanilla. 

She used the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  It's one of my favorites!  She created her own background using the stamps in the set and Secret Sea ink – stamping off first for some. 

Measurements:

  • 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Vanilla panels 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • Cloud Cover 1 1/8" X 5 1/4"
  • greeting die-cut 2 1/4" X 3/4", layer is 2 3/8" X 7/8" 

The textured panel is done with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder seen here.

Next is a lovely card made by Ginny featuring the Beautiful Gallery designer paper seen here.  It's part of our Suite BOGO sale too; in fact the entire suite is included!  

Her layout shows off the entire scene pictured on the DSP. This fold is perfect for scenic papers! 

Measurements:

  • Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
  • White is 2" X 5 1/4"

Lastly we have a sneak peek of some upcoming product from Kim. She used a suite featured in a Demo event called Creativity Now this month. She was able to pre-order the Peaceful Garden suite items that will be in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September, 2025. 

Her card is a simple Z-fold that really shows off that front White textured panel.  And look how the die-cut greeting label fits in that embossing panel! *notice those new flower gems….

She did a neat technique for her greeting panel. She used Secret Sea ink and a Blending Brush over an entire sheet of White card stock. Then she stamped and die-cut the label and the inside sprig from that. Super idea!

Measurements:

  • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • White front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

  • Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene


    You might know that I love creating scenic cards.  Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers.  I do!  But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water.  This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.  

    I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago.  It's super easy to make!  Here's a link to it on FB.  

    The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree.  I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'.  The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

    I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial.  And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

  • Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!


    This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

    I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy. 

    Here's how to make this pretty card. 

    1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
    2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
    3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
    4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
    5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
    6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
    7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

    Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card. 

     

    The Mountain Air bundle is my special for March.  Everyone who purchases it from me will receive a free 10 cards tutorial!  Past and present orders count!  You can see it here.
