More fun fold cards!

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!

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

• Designer paper is 3 7/8" X 2 7/8"
• The Olive stitched rectangle is 3 1/2" X 2 1/4"

• 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"

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

• New, beautiful Splendid Autumn card kit to go; now with an exclusive video tutorial!

  September 11, 2024

  ---

  Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go. 

  Save

  Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

  I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

  This month's kit to go includes the following:

  • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
  • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
  • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
  • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

  Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

  *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

  I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set. 

  Save

  However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

  *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!
