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.

• Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

  August 1, 2024

  ---

  This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

  Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

  

  See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

  Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

  

  Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

  Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

  

  I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

  Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

• More fabulous Team swaps with Online Exclusives!

  July 31, 2024

  ---

  Today's Team swaps both feature Online Exclusive products.  This means the items are only seen online and are not in any printed publication. There are so many available it's crazy! See them all here.

  This first card is a fun fold and made by Paula. She created an incredibly beautiful card with the Sophisticated Sled bundle! 

  

  The sled and ice skates are incredibly realistic! This new Sled bundle is amazing. You can see it here. 

  

  It's a really neat fun fold card where the right front flap overlaps the left layer of designer paper. She featured the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper here too.

  

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, White, Crumb Cake & Silver. 

  Measurements:

  • Mossy Meadow card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" fold/score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Cherry Cobbler 6 1/2" X 4 1/4" fold/score at 3 1/4"
  • DSP – left panel is 3" X 5 1/4", right is 3" X 4"
  • White inside 3" X 4"

  

  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!! 

  

   

  Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

  

  Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not. 

  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable! 

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

• Bonus days are almost over! Pretty card ideas with the Changing Leaves bundle

  July 30, 2024

  ---

  There are just a few days left of the Bonus Days special! Don't miss out on the savings!

  This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers. 

  The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here. 

  Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous! 

  

  Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.  

  

  The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle. 

  Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works. 

  

  Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

  

  Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.  

  Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
