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.

  Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

  First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

  

  This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

  

  The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

  

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
  • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
  • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

  Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

  

  I shared another version of this card here last week.  

  To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

  Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 

  
  

  Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
  • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
  • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

  I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!

• Fabulous Team Swaps!

  May 22, 2024

  We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made. 

  First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.  

  

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze.  Gorgeous!!  The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

  

  There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

  Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.  

  

  See the stamp set here and the dies here.  They were a bundle in the Spring catalog and carried over into the new Annual Catalog. 

  The designer paper is the Countryside Inn DSP seen here that carried over and is now online. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Black card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Misty Moonlight – 4" X 8 1/2" score at 5 1/4"
  • Black center fold 2 1/2" X 8" score at 4"
  • White 2 1/4" X 4" front and inside; greeting banner 3" X 5/8" 
  • Assorted card stock for tools 
  • DSP – front 3 3/4" X 3" and inside is 3 3/4" X 5"
