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!

A cute box with free template and video tutorial too!

March 30, 2022

Marilyn shared this sweet treat box at our last Flowerbug's Team Meeting. She cased it from Pootles. It looks almost like a mini milk carton.

Save

Her box is 2 X 2" and 3 1/4" tall. She used the Pansy Petals designer paper, Soft Succulent card stock and ink. This pretty DSP is retiring now; get it here while supplies last.

I made one for a recent FB Live video too. I chose to use the Flowering Fields DSP; it's so springy!

Save

They're made in Pear Pizzazz and Fresh Freesia card stock and the greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set seen here. The greeting tag is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies which are retiring now and available while supplies last! See the dies here.

She made up a template and another sheet of card stock showing you how it looks after trimming and cutting the template as shown. Watch the video here or below to see how it's made.

Save

It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is similar to a 2 4 6 8 box. Score on the short side at 1 1/2", 3 1/2" & 4 1/2". Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", & 8". Then cut away the areas crossed off and cut up to the score lines as shown.

You'll need 4 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 1 3/4" square. And 4 pieces measuring 1 3/4" X 3/4" for the top. She punched two holes in the top flaps to thread ribbon through to tie in a bow.

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

March 29, 2022
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.

Save
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.

Save

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.

Save

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.

Save

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.

Save

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

Save

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.
