My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here.

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
6. Repeat!

  This cute card starts out as a standard A2 card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  Adding just one extra score line creates this interactive, unique card!

  The Happy Birthday greeting inside the left card is from the Best Year stamp set. 

  Watch the video below to get my tips on assembly and coloring.  Measurements are listed below. 

  Measurements:

  • Real Red 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4", greeting strip 1" X 3 3/4"

  Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

  First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

  Save

  She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

  Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

  Save

  Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

  Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

  Save

  The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
