Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  We sure did.  It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days.  But we did it!  I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them.  We vote on taste AND presentation.  This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce.  I came in second with Spanakopita.

The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games.  We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded.  It's always a blast.  Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year.  And I won!  Sheesh!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live.  I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

The center panel lifts up.  It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.  

The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.  

Save

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.  

• Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
• White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

Save

The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration.  It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th. 

Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

  Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

  First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

  Save

  She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

  Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

  Save

  Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

  The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

  Save

  Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

  And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

  Save

  She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

• Modern Christmas card idea

  October 15, 2025

  ---

  Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
  This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

  Save

  Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

  The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

  She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

  Save

  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

  Save

  I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

• Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

  October 14, 2025

  ---

  Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

  Save

  My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

  
  It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
  Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

  Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

  Save

  This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

  Save

  I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

  I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to access it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and another easy card layout using this suite.
