We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you. 

First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here. 

Save

She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting.  Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together! 

There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper.

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side.  Very cool.  It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too. 

Measurements:

• Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here.  It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here. 

Save

Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie.  That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink. 

Measurements:

• Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies)

• 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"
    
    Save
    
    

  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
