Today I’m sharing Sharon’s beautiful card swap. Our October Team swap theme was Fall or Halloween.
She chose to feature the Sunflower Fields suite and the Everyday Arches dies. I’ll share the products used here below.
That gorgeous foil paper behind the arches is theRadiant Foils specialty paper. See how she used the Arches dies for her greeting? She turned it sideways and layered it with a second one in Early Espresso.
I jotted down the measurements for this fun fold card for you.
Pecan Pie card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″, lower z-fold 8 1/2″ X 1 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″
DSP vertical front and inside 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
DSP horizontal front 4″ X 1″ , inside 2 pieces at 1 7/8″ X 1″
Arches; DSP 3″ X 4 1/4″, Early Espresso 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″, White inside 2 1/4″ X 3 1/2″, greetings 2 1/4″ X 1″
Here’s the photo of all of the Flowerbug’s Team swaps this month. Aren’t they wonderful?

Book-binding Fold & Tuck card with video & free project sheet
Here's the second card I shared in last week's video; it's a book-binding card with a twist! The main panel features the 'Tuck & Fold' technique I shared a few weeks ago. See that card here.
The designer paper is the Translucent Floral Online Exclusive seen here.
Supplies:
Center greeting circle is from the Radiating Stitches dies seen here.
The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set
Basics 3D embossing folders were used on the Lemon Lime Twist layer
2022-24 In Color Baker's twine and Sequins Trio are the embellishments
The pinwheel like layer above starts out with a 6 X 6" piece of designer paper. You score it at 1 1/2" on all sides and cut off the corners as seen below.
Then you fold in the outer rectangles into the center and fold back one corner on each side. Watch the video below to see how it's done. It's quite easy!
Save two of the corners you cut off and cut them in half on the diagonal. It really jazzes up the inside of this card!

You can watch the video for this project here. It includes two more fun fold cards as well!

I wanted to share another version of the Triple Stack & Cut cards that I shared yesterday. I made these for my September Team card swap:
I shared how to make these cards here; I also have a video below you can watch. It's a fun way to use your designer paper and make really quick but eye-catching cards.
As you can see in the photo below it's a type of mix & match game.
Tip: when choosing your designer papers I recommend you pick a large and small print and then one that is more of a background print.
The card base and Deckled circle are Pebbled Path. I used the Autumn Leaves bundle for my stamps & die-cuts. See it here.
*This pretty designer paper is currently unavailable but is expected back the week of October 9th.

Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial
I'm a bit addicted to this card layout! I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.
You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5". Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle. You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.
Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.
You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts. I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock. That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.
Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern. This can help your card appear soothing and less busy.
I shared how to do this on the video below. In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.
I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock.
The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies. Here are the three cards I made:
