AMAZING Fun Fold card swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team!!

We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and the them was fun fold cards.  Wow; did they ever deliver fabulous cards!!!  

First is a sweet card made by Ginny who chose the cute Bee Mine Suite. 

Save

Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Sweet Sorbet, & Black.  She cased the card from quite a few people seen online including Karen Titus & Robyn's Roost. 

 I absolutely love the tag with the added pocket; it's made with the Tailored Tags dies!  

Measurements: 

• Daffodil Delight card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" card but scored at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2".  
• Designer paper on the front are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" for outer areas. middle is 2" X 5 1/4" & the last two beside the middle layer is 7/8" X 5 1/4" 

Here's a view of the back:

Next is an 'over the top' card made by Sharon who chose the Hooray for Surprises bundle.  

Save

She used the Most Adored designer paper from Sale-a-Bration (seen here) and Real Red & White. This specialty designer paper is still available and free with any $50 purchase through February – while supplies last. 

Save

Other products used are the Country Bouquet stamp set in the Annual catalog and Classic Matte dots

Measurements:

• Card base 11" X 5 1/2", 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  
• 2nd layer under heart & curved rectangle die-cuts is 4 1/2" X 1 1/2" scored at 2 1/4". 
• She adhered two curvy rectangle die-cuts (from the Nested Essential dies) over this. 
• DSP – 2 pieces at 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
• White 3 3/4" X 5 1/4"

The Hooray for Surprises bundle has multiple dies that allow for  peek-a-boo surprises. You can see in the photo below that the heart die-cut can be 'pulled' away to reveal a hidden message. There are multiple dies in this set that provide a tear-away element. It's so cool!

Here's a photo of the Hooray for Surprises bundle; even with out the peek-a-boo elements I love the stamped images and dies! *see the perforations on the large dies? That provides the tear away aspect.

Next is a sweet card made by Joan; it was her first card swap with us as she joined my Flowerbug's Team in January!  She did an incredible job too!

Save

She chose to feature the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & coordinating Songbird Builder punch. See the stamp set here and the punch here; they used to be a bundle but are now sold separately. 

She designed a fun fold I haven't seen before!  It's a Dutch door fold with an added top flap. So amazing for her first swap!  

Save

• Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial

  April 14, 2026

  ---

  I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

  Save

  The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

  For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

  Save

  This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

  Save

  It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

  Save

  The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

  This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

  Save

  The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

  Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

  Save

  It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

  Save

  My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

  Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.

  I shared this fabulous box for gifting or storing cards in on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those projects you NEED to make!

  Save

  I found a similar project on Pinterest but the measurements weren’t for A2 cards so I reconfigured it and came up with this one. I love it and the fact that it’s super easy makes it a must have to save among your project ideas.

  Save

  I used Secret Sea card stock, the DSP and with the retiring Branching Out dies (so sad!) for the front. The Secret Sea bordered ribbon is perfect to wrap and tie into a bow for giving.

  If you don’t have these Branching Out dies; I think they’re a must have! Get them ASAP before they’re gone for good.

  Save

  It features the Lovely Blossoms suite; especially the Lovely Blossoms designer paper here and the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here.

  I added three cards & envelopes inside the box but it would fit 5-6 cards if they’re not too thick.

  Save

  I’ll share the cards in my blog post tomorrow. But in the meantime the template for this box is below.

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for both the box and the cards. Please click here to print or save it!

  The video tutorial is below; please watch it to see how to assemble the box.
