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.

Save

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!

Beautiful Sunrise Sailing card with multiple techniques and free project sheet

June 30, 2025
Today is the last day of the June Specials:
- BOGO sale on all Suite products seen here
- Free Celebratory Sips tutorial for all online orders (seen below)
Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards. It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

Save

I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here. I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle. They're wonderful and really spark creativity.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once! Watch the video to see how it's done.

Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock. I show how in the video below. I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush.

Save

Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above. This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical.

I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group 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"
