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.

First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.

She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade. The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible! I love the touch of vellum she added.

Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set. This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch.

Flowers for Every Season & more!

July 28, 2020

Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors.

First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

Save

Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly.

Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also.

Save

What a fun layout! Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer? That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.

Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane. She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings. Love these delicate dies!

Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better? They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully. It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
