Die-Cut projects – Flowerbugs Inkspot

A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

March 10, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

Here’s how you do it.

You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

If you’d like the free project sheet for this card layout click here. You can download or print it off. It includes measurements, supplies, photos and step by step directions. If you’re loving my free project sheets I suggest you create a file on your computer and save them all there. Easy inspiration!

I’ll share the last card tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more.

Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!

April 13, 2020

This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month.

I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card!

It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents. I will sure miss this color! It will be retiring in just 9 days! Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

Isn't that border die amazing? And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner.

I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock. Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow.

Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock. Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut.

Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.

This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month. See it all here in my online store.

Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

April 10, 2020

I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in. Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit. So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

I love this peek-a-boo bunny here! Yes; it's fussy cut. There aren't dies for it. She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper. I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool! See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here.

That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it! The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package.

I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring! Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!

The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies. The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square. This layout really highlights the main image.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

April’s card kit to go

April 9, 2020
I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month. This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each! Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too! Look!

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!
- a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here.
- 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
- a full package of Pearl jewels
- a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
- the pre-cut kit! It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
- You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial.
I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine. In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both. Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount!

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial. Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone.

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop. Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th!

Here are some comments from happy customers:

- Wow! That was slick! I’m sure I will be ordering more from you in the future.
- I absolutely LOVE your cards and can't wait to get my fingers inky!!

- LeeAnn, I purchased this class last Sunday. I made all the cards, and had a great time. I loved all the different folds and color choices. Thanks for making my week!
