Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

Her measurements are:

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
  • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • 3 more pretty fun fold cards for you with measurements; one is a sneak peek of upcoming product!


    I hope you're enjoying the awesome fun fold cards I've been sharing this week.  My Flowerbugs Team swaps were incredible this month!  Our theme was to make fun fold cards featuring a new In Color. 

    First up today is Candy's card which features Secret Sea with Cloud Cover & Vanilla. 

    She used the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  It's one of my favorites!  She created her own background using the stamps in the set and Secret Sea ink – stamping off first for some. 

    Measurements:

    • 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla panels 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Cloud Cover 1 1/8" X 5 1/4"
    • greeting die-cut 2 1/4" X 3/4", layer is 2 3/8" X 7/8" 

    The textured panel is done with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder seen here.

    Next is a lovely card made by Ginny featuring the Beautiful Gallery designer paper seen here.  It's part of our Suite BOGO sale too; in fact the entire suite is included!  

    Her layout shows off the entire scene pictured on the DSP. This fold is perfect for scenic papers! 

    Measurements:

    • Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White is 2" X 5 1/4"

    Lastly we have a sneak peek of some upcoming product from Kim. She used a suite featured in a Demo event called Creativity Now this month. She was able to pre-order the Peaceful Garden suite items that will be in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September, 2025. 

    Her card is a simple Z-fold that really shows off that front White textured panel.  And look how the die-cut greeting label fits in that embossing panel! *notice those new flower gems….

    She did a neat technique for her greeting panel. She used Secret Sea ink and a Blending Brush over an entire sheet of White card stock. Then she stamped and die-cut the label and the inside sprig from that. Super idea!

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • White front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

  • 3 fun fold cards celebrating Strawberry Slush!


    I have THREE neat fun fold cards from our June Team card swap.  My Flowerbug's did an incredible job on their fun fold cards!  

    First up is Sharon's card featuring the Cheers & Sips bundle seen here. 

    The top card base layer is scored to creates a box that pops up & supports the front panel. Super neat! 

    She added Fine Tip Glue to her fussy cut drinks for some shine.  To do this you need to let it set awhile to dry. I'd recommend two layers.  If you don't want it to get a bit curvy from the liquid in the glue, add a layer of card stock under it.  

    Her inside greeting is from the Unbounded Love set.  The gems are from the Holographic Resin dots.

    Measurements:

    • Strawberry Slush card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 7 3/4"
    • front CS panel 2 3/4" X 4"
    • DSP 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 5 3/8", pieces under the greeting are 2 3/4" X 1 1/4", 2 3/4" X 1/4" and inside is 2 3/4" X 1 1/4" 
    • inside White panel 2 3/4" X 4"

    ~~~

    Next is a neat Latch card made by Kathy who used the Sweet Jar bundle seen here. 

    Her colors include Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. The Designer Paper is from the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here. 

    The front flap opens up to reveal another panel that she stamped with coffee beans and the die-cut from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies (now retired).

    And the front panel open up too!  

    Measurements:

    • card base 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White panels X 3 – 2 3/4" square; inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Strawberry Slush square 3"
    • 2 1/2" X 1" scored at 1 1/4" connecting piece

    ~~~

    And now for the final card today. This one was made by Paula and was cased from Heidi Colins.  It's called a Buckle card:

    She used the Floral Impressions DSP on the front and cut a window in the front panels so the buckle could slip in.  

    Products used include the Stylish Shapes dies, Swirly EF, In Color flat pearls, and Brass Butterflies.

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 1/2" 
    • buckle 4 1/2" X 1 1/4" scored at 1/2"
    • largest circle is 2 1/8" but Paula recommends slightly larger

    Here's the final opening:
