We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and the them was fun fold cards. Wow; did they ever deliver fabulous cards!!!
First is a sweet card made by Ginny who chose the cute Bee Mine Suite.
Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Sweet Sorbet, & Black. She cased the card from quite a few people seen online including Karen Titus & Robyn's Roost.
I absolutely love the tag with the added pocket; it's made with the Tailored Tags dies!
Measurements:
- Daffodil Delight card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" card but scored at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2".
- Designer paper on the front are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" for outer areas. middle is 2" X 5 1/4" & the last two beside the middle layer is 7/8" X 5 1/4"
Here's a view of the back:

Next is an 'over the top' card made by Sharon who chose the Hooray for Surprises bundle.
She used the Most Adored designer paper from Sale-a-Bration (seen here) and Real Red & White. This specialty designer paper is still available and free with any $50 purchase through February – while supplies last.
Other products used are the Country Bouquet stamp set in the Annual catalog and Classic Matte dots
Measurements:
- Card base 11" X 5 1/2", 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".
- 2nd layer under heart & curved rectangle die-cuts is 4 1/2" X 1 1/2" scored at 2 1/4".
- She adhered two curvy rectangle die-cuts (from the Nested Essential dies) over this.
- DSP – 2 pieces at 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
- White 3 3/4" X 5 1/4"
The Hooray for Surprises bundle has multiple dies that allow for peek-a-boo surprises. You can see in the photo below that the heart die-cut can be 'pulled' away to reveal a hidden message. There are multiple dies in this set that provide a tear-away element. It's so cool!
Here's a photo of the Hooray for Surprises bundle; even with out the peek-a-boo elements I love the stamped images and dies! *see the perforations on the large dies? That provides the tear away aspect.

Next is a sweet card made by Joan; it was her first card swap with us as she joined my Flowerbug's Team in January! She did an incredible job too!
She chose to feature the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & coordinating Songbird Builder punch. See the stamp set here and the punch here; they used to be a bundle but are now sold separately.
She designed a fun fold I haven't seen before! It's a Dutch door fold with an added top flap. So amazing for her first swap!
