  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!

  • Who knew?!

    If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

    One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

    I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible!

  • Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps

    Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here.  They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme. 

    The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold. 

    Feb Paula Turtle dutch door Save

    I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.  She sponged the sky & grass too.  

    Measurements:

    • Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8" 
    • White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
    • Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it.

    Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla.  I'd forgotten about this unique card fold!  It looks like a normal card at first glance.

    But when you lift the front it reveals this!

    Feb Turtle Friends Marla Save

    She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front.  She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip. 

    Measurements:

    • Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
    • Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6" 
    • Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
