Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video

Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

Save

I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.  

Save

Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap.

• Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors

  September 1, 2021

  ---

  Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  Save

  She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies.  It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.  

  I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting.  This paper is absolutely amazing.  There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!  

  *Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So get it now here while you can!  It's FREE with any $50 order.

• Look at these fabulous swap cards!

  August 31, 2021

  ---

  We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!  

  This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper.  You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet.  Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating! 

  This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th.  See it here. 

  Save

  And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold!  These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle.  See it here. 

  Save

  Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards?  Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle! 

  Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper.  What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel!  She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.

• 3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

  August 30, 2021

  ---

  Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper?  It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it. 

  This photo does not do it justice!  The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.  

  Save

  Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products.  I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made!  These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper. 

  Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!  

  Save

  She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone. 

  Lots of details on this card:

  • Stitched Whimsy dies
  • Stitched Rectangle dies
  • Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
  • Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White 

  Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live.  It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here. 

  Save

  She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces.  The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS. 

  This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't!  Again, click here to see the video. 

  Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

  Save

  Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set.  It's on an Everyday Label punch.  She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!
