Artistic Sketched Garden fun fold card with free project sheet & video

I shared this neat accordion card on last week’s video. Most Tuesdays at 11 am CT I post a Live video on my FB page here. Then the following week I share the free project sheet for it here on my blog. Be sure to follow me here by subscribing to my blog on the right side, my YouTube Channel or my FB page. Don’t miss a thing!

I featured the Artistic Sketched Garden designer paper here; it’s new and will be available in the upcoming 2026 May – August Stampin’ Up! catalog. Each sheet is a black & white combination of florals or prints.

I paired it with Melon Mambo and Black here. The vase of flowers is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a piece of In Color DSP as a background. That simple strip of Black CS really sets of the colors here.

You can’t tell what type of fun fold it is in the photo above. But look at this one:

It’s so cool and gives you plenty of places to add designer paper. Here’s the free project sheet for all three cards. Click here to download or print it.

In the video below you’ll see how I made this card and two more easy fun folds. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

  This week I'm sharing a bunch or swaps from the latest Flowerbugs Team swaps.  I love swapping with my Team!  They are so talented and creative!  

  Look at these adorable fun fold cards with the Berries bundles.  The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

  

  Karen created this fun fold card using the Sweet Strawberry bundle (seen here) which includes a stamp set and a strawberry punch plus the Berry Delightful Sale-a-Bration designer paper.  This special paper is part of a bundle that's free with a $100 order (more on this below).  It has raspberries, blueberries and strawberries plus picnic themed designs that remind you of aprons or tablecloths! 

  Measurements:

  • Poppy Parade card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Granny Apple Green 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  • Designer paper 4 1/8" X 2 5/8" top scalloped die-cut, 2 1/2" X 4" vertical piece

  You get both the Berry Blessings stamp set and the Berry Delightful designer paper FREE with a $100 order! 

  
  

  Candace made the sweet card below using the Berry Blessings bundle seen here.   

  

  She used the raspberry paper along with the same green plaid Karen did above.  This card is a tri-fold design; measurements are below.  She also used the Stitched So Sweetly dies like above. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Blackberry bliss 4 1/4" X 10 3/4" scored at 3" & 7"
  • Berry Delightful DSP – front is 2 3/4" X 4", second layer is 3 1/2" X 4"

• Snail Mail & Pretty Perennials; a cute combo with video!

  January 18, 2021

  ---

  Here are the cards I created for Monday night's FB Live video.  It was 'Stamp with Me' night which occurs on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights.  Join me here! 

  

  When I first saw the Snail Mail designer paper I fell in love!  I had absolutely no idea it would be this cute.  Have you found that to be true?  You see things in a catalog and think they're okay or kind of nice. But then in real life you are amazed?!  This is one of those papers!

  This was inspired by a similar card I received in a swap from my friend Dawn Olchefske.  

  Here they are separately:

        

  
  

  My colors were chosen by the adorable Snail Mail DSP – Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Blushing Bride & Pool Party.

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • main layer – stamped or textured 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Designer Paper strips 1" X 4"

• Quick & Easy Easel Calendar cards with video!

  January 15, 2021

  ---

  Look at this pretty Easel Calendar card made with brand new products!  

  

  I used product from both new Stampin' Up! 2021 catalogs.  The designer paper is called Paper Blooms and it's free with a $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Click here to see it.

  The dragonfly & greeting are from the Dragonfly Garden bundle.  It's in the 2021 Spring catalog and you can see it here. 

  

  These easel cards are so simple to make!  The scored, square piece is adhered to the inside bottom of the main card.

  Measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • easel 4" square.  Score at 1/2", 2" and 3 3/4"

  Here are a few more I created as gifts for my customers in December.  These calendars can be found online at a few different sites.  Just google 'mini tear off calendar'. 

    
  

  These are made with designer papers from the Annual Catalog.  The left one above features the Artistic Blooms; the right is the Ornate Garden.  The greeting is from the Friend Like You stamp set.

  The pretty one below is made with the Forever Greenery designer paper. Who wouldn't want one of these at their desk?
