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.

AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card

August 25, 2023

We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

Save

Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it. What a huge 'WOW' card she made!

She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim.

Save

Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back. She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth.

I'm not sure how she cut the pockets. But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest. She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all. Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….

All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it. See it here.

Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps

August 24, 2023
Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front. I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more:

First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

Save

She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!

Lots of details and textures here:
1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush.
2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer.
3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece as a second decorative element.
Measurements:
- Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
- Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"
~~~

Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper:

Save

It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front. But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper!

Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock? It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front. She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front. What a neat idea!

Here's the inside view. She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.

I believe her measurements are:
- DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.
- Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)

Next is a book binding fun fold card made by Candy. She featured the Sweet & Precious stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock.

Measurements:
- Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
- DSP 1" X 4"
- Pretty Peacock 4" square
Details:
- She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers.
- The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies.
- The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
- The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.
