I was inspired to make this fun chevron card fold when my friend Susie Wood shared hers with me.  It's a neat way to use your scraps of designer paper for a unique card front.  See hers here.  

I chose to use the Botanically Inked designer paper for my cards.

I made one before and one during a recent live video. See it here.  

I also created a project sheet with photos and measurements for you to print out.  I'm doing this for all of my video projects now! Download Chevron Designer Paper project sheet

I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

• Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

  May 16, 2025

  ---

  Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store.  Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog?  They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.  

  This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap.  I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat.  She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist. 

  Save

  Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set.  The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  

  Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock. 

  Save

  She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months!  I hope it comes back soon.  It is expected around June 2nd. 

  Here's the view when it's open:

  The card base is 11" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines. 

  The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".  

  It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer.  So cool!  No difficulty measuring your layers  when you do it this way.

  Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle.  I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

  Save

  Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies!  I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.  

  Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.

  Last weekend we held our monthly Team swap and Lori made this super cute card.
