Gorgeous Petals of Beauty fun fold card with video

April 6, 2026

This pretty card was a big favorite of my club gals in March.

It features the Brushed with Beauty suite which includes many items that are now on the Last Chance list!
The Petals of Beauty bundle was used mostly for the stamped images and die-cuts. See it here.

My card base is Very Vanilla with the following additional colors: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling.

Look at the airy Vanilla flower petal die-cuts above. They are not meant to match which I love!

You cannot tell but there is a window sheet sandwiched between the top and bottom layers. It adds a bit of surprise to the card. The rounded leaf die-cut is cut from the new Wood Grain Wonders 12 X 12″ specialty paper seen here. It has a very faint wood grain to each sheet in all wood tones. I added a bit of Mossy Meadow ink to the one on the right above.

I added designer paper to the inside layers as well; all from the Brushed with Beauty DSP seen here.

How to make a bumblebee with the Ladybug Builder punch

February 21, 2022
This month my Flowerbug's Team's swap theme was cards featuring an animal, bug or bird with a unique fold. I decided to use the Hello Ladybug bundle for mine. Click here to see the bundle. I changed the ladybug into a bumblebee!

I shared how to make this card on last week's Facebook Live. It's now on YouTube as well. Click here to see it and two other cards featuring this cute Ladybug Builder punch.

You may have seen this done before; it's so simple if you have some Black & White designer paper. I colored the white stripes with a Dark Daffodil Delight Blends marker. I used the Ladybug Builder punch to punch out the body circle and added it to the main Black Ladybug body.

Then I punched out wings from Vellum. I made them double wings by folding a piece of vellum in half and punching so the fold was intact. The wings are adhered with a few mini glue dots.

Save

Details:
- I used the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here for the hexagon shapes.
- Designer paper is the All Together 6 X 6" black & white paper seen here.
- The Bumblebee hexagon is textured with the Hive 3D embossing folder.
- That hexagon embellishment on the greeting was pink. It's one of three colored in the Adhesive-backed Hexagon gems in the 2022 Jan-June catalog. I colored it with the Dark Daffodil Delight blends marker.

This is an easy fun fold card to make. And it makes great use of your Designer Paper – you can get 2 fronts from each 6 X 6" piece or 8 fronts from a 12 X 12" piece of paper.

If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.

I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies to die-cut it out. I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.

Save

Details:
- This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.
- The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog.
- The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
- Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection. Rhinestones in blues & greens!!

I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.

It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color. A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed.

This card is an easy fun fold. Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
- White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
- 3 ¾” X 5” Black

The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set. It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.
