Fun Folds – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card

July 20, 2026

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

Here’s the free project sheet for this card with measurements & directions. Click here.

And below is the video showing you how to assemble this card plus my newest tutorials & card kits to go.

Don’t forget about the July Specials!

I am so excited about sharing this project on today's FB Live video!

In the photo below you'll see something that looks like a card…. but it's not!

It's actually a card folio that 'fits' cards inside. Today is a sneak peek; I'll share details in the video today and more on tomorrow's blog post.

I've made one years ago and when my friend Susie Wood shared hers I had to make one too! I chose to use the Good Feelings stamp set seen here.  It's on sale starting today with the Seasonal Sale. It was $24 but is not $20.40.

In the folio I used the Contoured Scalloped dies for the frame, a few dies from the Penned Flower dies seen here. They were $30 and are now $24. I also used the coordinating Hand-Penned Petal stamp set seen here. They were $22 and are now $18.70.

My colors include Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Evening Evergreen and Calypso Coral. The pretty Designer Paper is the new Fitting Florets seen here; it's available through January 4th or while supplies last. It's also part of my card kit to go seen here or the PDF tutorial here.

Join me here at 11 am Central time on Facebook. Or click here to see it on YouTube later.
