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.  

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! 

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.

  • More fun fold cards!


    Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  They are amazing! 

    First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

    This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold.  Here's a video I made for it: 

    The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste!  And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

    Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock.  Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4".  Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

    Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half.  Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

    Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle.  I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!

    Marilyn made this beautiful card with the Ornate Garden suite of products seen here; an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalog.  

    • The Olive card base is 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
    • The Terracotta Tile layer is 4" X 3"
    • Designer paper is 3 7/8" X 2 7/8"
    • The Olive stitched rectangle is 3 1/2" X 2 1/4" 
    • The Terracotta Tile die-cut is from the Ornate Frames dies
    • The White daisy layer is 1 1/8" X 2 1/2", the White inside is 4" X 5 1/5"
    • Stamps are from the Ornate Style & Ornate Thanks stamp sets 

    Paula made this striking fun fold card using the Peaceful Poppies designer paper and the Painted Poppies bundle.

    This Peaceful Poppies designer paper is retiring and is on the Last Chance list now while supplies last here.  I'm so glad the Painted Poppies bundle will be returning in the new Annual catalog! 

    Measurements:

    • Poppy Parade main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
    • Striped DSP is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • Poppies DSP is 1 3/4 X 3 3/4"
    • White strips are 2" X 4" 

    I hope you're enjoying these fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team!  More tomorrow!

  • Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!


    Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's!  We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate.  See the others here and here. 

    First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

    I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place.  She has a tutorial for it here.  Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card.  So the finished size may be different. 

    Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" .  She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

    I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

    Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here!   I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too.  It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters! 

    The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces!  Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here. 

    Measurements:

    • Calypso Coral base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper is 4" X 5 1/4"
    • White is 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"
