Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

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

June 27, 2025
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.

Save

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"
Save

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!

Save

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.

Save

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!

June 26, 2025
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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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).

Save

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
Save

~~~

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:

Save

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.

Save

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
