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

June 27, 2025

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.

Save

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"

Save

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!

Save

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.

Save

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"

Happy Birthday to You SAB set swaps

February 19, 2020

Two more pretty card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team today. These two cards are similar in layout but still so different.

This Happy Birthday to You stamp set (seen here) is free with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. And now there is a set of dies to match! Click on the photo below to see those. My customers love it when there are dies to match; no fussy cutting!

Save

First is Deloris's card in Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight.

Save

She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for her White layer and the greeting. The cake and the flowers are cut out with the Birthday Dies seen above. She colored the images with Blends markers. The texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.

Next is Karen's card; she used Pacific Point with Daffodil Delight and Silver foil

Save

Her stamped cake and the Silver cake stand are cut out with the Birthday dies. She textured her Pacific Point layer with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.

Like I said; these two cards are similar but not!

This pretty stamp set fits just about any celebration that involves cake; which in our family is just about everything!

Power of Hope Bundle swap cards

February 18, 2020

I have a lot of swaps to show you this week. My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing! Each day I'll share a few with you.

First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $100 purchase. You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder. Look!

Save

Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern. She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here. She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look.

She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below. The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.

Save

Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors. So elegant! The greeting is heat embossed. Look at what she did on the inside of the card! Unique and special.

You can see this bundle here in my online store.

Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

February 17, 2020

Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them? I have a solution for note cards.

Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5". We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year. White or Scalloped. You can find them on page 168. Or click here for the Scalloped.

Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

Save

I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards. Look!

Save

The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile. I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile.

I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post.

Save

This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box. The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

Here are the measurements for the box:

Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
    • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
    • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too. Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!
