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. 

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.  

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. 

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!

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!  

Measurements:

  • Pretty Peacock – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back, front layer 3 1/4" X 4", greeting layer 3 1/2" X 1 1/4"
  • Pool Party – lower fold is 8" X 1 3/4" scored at 4", upper fold is 4" X 7" scored at 3 1/2"
  • White front 3 X 3 3/4", front of inside flap is 3" X 2", inside 3 3/4" X 3 1/4", greeting 3 1/4" X 1"
  • scraps of White, Lemon Lime Twist & Pecan Pie for leaves, nest & bird

Here's the card fully opened: 

Aren't they all amazing?!!  And I have LOTS more to share with you too!  Stay tuned!

  • Quick cards for Men using paper strips!


    I thought paper strips were a perfect way to create cards for men.  So I chose some 1/2" strips of blues and greens and adhered them to a piece of White 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock at an angle. 

    Add them at an angle, graduating colors as you go if you wish.  Once you're added strips trim off the excess on the edges.  

    Next I used the retiring Well Written 'birthday' dies seen here and cut it out of the stripes piece.  I wanted the greeting to reflect the same colors in the background.  So easy!  

    I adhered it to the Tasteful Labels die-cut with Multipurpose Glue. I stamped 'Happy' from the coordinating stamp set Well Said seen here and fussy cut it to add to the card.  

    ~~~

    Next is another card with the exact same colors but totally different.  I adhered 1/2" strips to the edge of a White card base.  I didn't worry about the outer edge until I was done; trimming it off afterwards.  I focused on the left edge being even.   

    I added a skinny 1/8" strip of Night of Navy to cover up any unevenness on my left edge.  A length of Navy twine wrapped around and into a bow finishes it off. 

    The 'you' is from the Well Written dies and the 'make me smile' is rom the Well Said stamp set (heat embossed in White) on a Navy Tailored Tag punch.

           

       

    Here's the video for all 10 paper strips projects!  

    More details on my paper strips projects tomorrow!
