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!

  • Queen Anne’s Lace cards


    I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple.  I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

    There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more!  Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon.  But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

    This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Read about that here!  It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product!  Pay just $99 and get $200!  And FREE Shipping too!  

    I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left.  That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together!  Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all. 

    Measurements:

    • Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
    • Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
    • Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3" 

    I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found.  It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy! 

    Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week.  Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors!  Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.
