All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video

June 22, 2026

This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
Blending Brushes
a sanding block

The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.

Awesome Otters is perfect with the Simply Marbelous!

February 26, 2022

There are just 2 days left of Sale-a-Bration promotion and I had to share this sweet card my Flowerbug's team member Karen made for our recent swap. The theme was cards featuring animals & fun fold layout.

Save

She used Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Gray Granite along with the Hippo & Friends dies. She colored him in with Blends markers.

This card is a triangle pop up card. The front of the card is scored diagonally across it so you can give it a twist to pop it up. The inside greeting holds it up.

The Awesome Otters set is adorable; those critters are so cute!

- The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here).
- The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly!
- The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
- The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order.
- They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins.
- The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

February 24, 2022

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:

Save

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!

Save

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.

*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.

Save

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.

Save

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.
