Fun Folds – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Check out these Team Swaps featuring Specialty Paper – with measurements!

March 4, 2026

Our card swap theme for February was to feature our beautiful specialty papers. Today I’m sharing three of them with you.

First is a neat fun fold card by Karen. She chose the Lovely & Beautiful specialty DSP and her card shows off both sides wonderfully!

She also used the Three Banner bundle for her greeting. Love that saying! See this punch bundle here.
The stitched square die-cut from Stylish Shapes dies hides the inside panel perfectly.

Measurements are as follows:

Card base 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″
White 5 1/4″ X 4″, inside is 2 3/4″ square
DSP 5″ X 6″ score at 2″ on the 6″ side
Calypso Coral square die-cut 2 3/4″

Next is Kim’s card who also chose to use the Lovely & Beautiful DSP. She heat embossed her greeting on Vellum!

Notice the brand new embossing folder – it’s called Lazy Daisy and coordinates great with the DSP she chose.

Measurements:

Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, Olive layer 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
DSP 4″ X 2 1/4″
Fresh Freesia 4″ X 3″
Gold strip 4″ X 1/2″

Next is a neat shaker card made by Joan. She used the Good Luck stamp set.

Her colors are Shy Shamrock (of course!) and Shaded Spruce with Gold accents.

Measurements:

Shy Shamrock card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, top layer is 3 3/4″ X 5″
Shaded Spruce 4″ X 5 1/4″
circle window is 2 3/4″
White inside 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

I’ll share more Team swaps tomorrow.

Nothing’s Better Than fun fold card with video!

August 31, 2020

We made this CUTE card at my August Card Clubs with the Nothing's Better Than bundle seen here.

It's a triple flap gate-fold card! It's super easy to make and fun to open too. Check out the measurements AND the video below. Be sure to read the front AND the inside below. This stamp set is just plain FUN!

I chose to use Early Espresso with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. To get a lighter hue for the chocolate and cookies images I stamped off the Early Espresso ink first. Is it just me or do some of these images remind you of the Jetsons cartoon show?

Measurements:

– Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end

– Whisper White 1 1/2" X 3 3/4" (3 pieces) plus scraps for added die-cut images

– Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry 1 5/8" X 3 7/8" (3 total pieces)

The Nothing's Better Than stamp set has a set of dies to coordinate with it; get them both and get 10% off.

I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!

August 28, 2020

I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video. *See it below.

First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.

The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.

Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!

Which one is your favorite? The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.

I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.

Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month! Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Check them out here:

This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them.

Aren't these just plain fun!!!
