Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.  

Heartfelt Hello card front Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

  • The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
  • The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
  • The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
  • The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
  • The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
  • The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
  • See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
  • The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it! 

Heartfelt Hello Club Save

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

  • Last of the Holiday & Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps!

    And here are the last of the Team swaps made by my Flowerbug members.  Our theme was to use Holiday or Sale-a-Bration catalog items.  They knocked it out of the park as usual!!

    First up is a stunning card made by Marla.  She featured the Peace To You stamp set seen here.  

    August Marla Peace to You Save

    She used TWO of the new specialty designer papers here – the Snowflakes 12" Vellum as an overlay on the stamped image.  Then the long dotted strip is from the Metallic & Shimmer 6" paper.  These are both in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  

    She added a wrap of Silver Metallic Mesh ribbon around the left edge, which helps hide any adhesive when adding the vellum.

    Next is a cute card using the Yeti to Party stamp set made by Monica.  I LOVE her bright, happy colors for this holiday card.  

    August Monica Yeti to Party Save

    The color combo is Coastal Cabana, White & Calypso Coral.  The designer paper background is the Sale-a-Bration 'Rings of Love'.  She stamped snowflakes on it to make it more 'holiday' themed.  She tore a strip of Happy Forest Friends DSP below it. 

    ~~~ 

    Lastly is a neat card made by Miles using the Tree Lot dies.  Unfortunately these dies are out of stock now and not available.  They were free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion but they ran out and will not be bringing them back.  A sad reminder that Sale-a-Bration items are 'While Supplies Last'. 

    August Miles Tree Lot dies Save

    There are so many neat details about this card:

    • He die-cut a window in the Sahara Sand front panel with the Stylish Shapes dies
    • The greeting is from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalog
    • He added a strip of Natural 1/2" woven ribbon
    • The background is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder

    Here is a photo of all of our  amazing August Flowerbug Team swaps!

  • Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!

    Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August.  I hope you get some inspiration from them.  

    First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog.  Or click here.  

    August Candy Caroling Mice Save

    Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce.  She colored the images in with Blends markers.  I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!  

    The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.  It is currently out of stock but will return in September.

    Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.  

    She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.  

    August Sharon Caroling Mice Save

    We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen.  She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

    That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August.  Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!  

    We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun! 

    PEARLIZED ENAMEL EFFECTS BASICS Save

    It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

    Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card! 

    August Candy Caroling Mice Save

    I'll list them here:

    • Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
    • Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
    • The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

  • Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets

    Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.  

    First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

    August Tracey Texture Chic . Save

    Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP.  We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors. 

    The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP.  The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies.  That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here.  All contribute to making this card stunning! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP are both 3" X 4"

    Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made.  She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

    August Marilyn Splendid Thoughts. Save

    Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White.  The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.  

    The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder.  The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here.  The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.  

    August Marilyn Splendid Thoughts Save

    Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Soft Suede – 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" 

    ~~~

    Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula.  She cased a card made by Colleen Magness.  It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping.  Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.  

    August Paula Soft Seedlings Save

    She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker.  Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp.  Huff & stamp!  

    The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here.  It's new!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
    • Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
    • Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Pumpkin Pie 5 3/8 X 4 1/8" 

    Remember that if you're wanting any of the Holiday Catalog products it's smart to order in August so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!

    I'll share the rest of our Team swaps soon.
