More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023

Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video. If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here.

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted. I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.

Measurements:

Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”. Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue. These colors pair beautifully together.

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers. You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge. I cover that up with the inside white panel.

Measurements:

DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here. My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets

October 23, 2023

Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here.

When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

Save

It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have. I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.

My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.

It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch. Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom. You can see how this is done in the video below.

Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

October 19, 2023
Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps. These two cards are not your average Christmas cards!

First is a pretty card made by Marla. She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works!

Save

She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog.

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
- DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
- White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

Save

Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men? Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half. She added so much detail on them too!
- The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
- The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
- Ears are from the monkey punch.
She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies. A great idea!

Save

The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive).

Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards. Details on each if you go back each day this week.
