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

December 3, 2025

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.

Amazing Bag of Bones Halloween & Pick of the Patch swap cards

September 21, 2023
We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and I'm excite to share these amazing swap cards with you.

First up is a gorgeous card made by Candace that features the Bag of Bones bundle.

Save

She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.

Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies. The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle.

This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here.

Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins. Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.

The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder. It's a new favorite for many!

Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

September 19, 2023
Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

Save

It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card. She cased the idea from Patty Bennett.

She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.

Measurements:

Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6". Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

Save

The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.

Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.

Save

I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.

This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one. It's actually quite easy.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
- White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box
- Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
- DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
