More fun fold cards!

May 21, 2020

Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team. They are amazing!

First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold. Here's a video I made for it:

The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste! And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock. Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4". Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half. Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle. I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!

Save

Marilyn made this beautiful card with the Ornate Garden suite of products seen here; an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalog.

The Olive card base is 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
The Terracotta Tile layer is 4" X 3"
Designer paper is 3 7/8" X 2 7/8"
The Olive stitched rectangle is 3 1/2" X 2 1/4"
The Terracotta Tile die-cut is from the Ornate Frames dies
The White daisy layer is 1 1/8" X 2 1/2", the White inside is 4" X 5 1/5"
Stamps are from the Ornate Style & Ornate Thanks stamp sets

Paula made this striking fun fold card using the Peaceful Poppies designer paper and the Painted Poppies bundle.

Save

This Peaceful Poppies designer paper is retiring and is on the Last Chance list now while supplies last here. I'm so glad the Painted Poppies bundle will be returning in the new Annual catalog!

Measurements:

Poppy Parade main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
Striped DSP is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
Poppies DSP is 1 3/4 X 3 3/4"
White strips are 2" X 4"

I hope you're enjoying these fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team! More tomorrow!

A Wonderful Serene Love card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option

December 12, 2024
I knew I'd love this paper when I ordered it. I was right! The patterns and colors are beautiful.

I created a fantastic group of cards featuring the Serene Love DSP (new release this month). All but 4 of the 5 designs are fun folds. Aren't they pretty?

Save

I added Pretty in Pink as an accent since it works wonderfully with these colors. I created 5 different cards and made 2 of each. In this kit to go you'll receive the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards including layers, punched or die-cut pieces
- a share of Iridescent Pearl jewels
- a share of Pretty in Pink ribbon
- the PDF tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and a supplies list
This kit to go is $31 and will be sent to you via Priority mail at the end of December. You can reserve your kit to go here.

The PDF tutorial is available separately here for $16. It is sent to you via email immediately after payment.

You will need a few ink colors, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. The colors include Petal Pink, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia.

*This is the kit my subscribers will receive in December.

I'll share the other kit to go Friday. Or click here to see them both now. You'll save on shipping if you order more than one kit.

Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

December 10, 2024

Free shipping continues through Wednesday, December 11th. All orders over $75 qualify.

I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video. It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.

Save

It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.

It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog. I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut.
Save

The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it. I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper! I hope you watch and make some.

Save

Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here.

Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do. Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal.

My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here.

The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

I added a double bow made from Red & White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December. *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!
