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:

Save

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"

I LOVE sharing what my friends make. Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.

She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year! She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!

She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog. I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators!

I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week. Here's a neat shaker card I made:

Save

Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy! Watch the video below to see how it's done.

The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog. See it here. I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog. I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here.

Here's a close up of another:

Save

Here are some details:
- The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle.
- The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
- The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
- I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
- The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper. Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.

The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

Grassy Grove dies make amazing cards quickly! Video too!

January 27, 2022

I was inspired to use the Grassy Grove bundle for a January card club project because of this card made by Deloris; one of my Flowerbug's Team members.

Save

See what I mean? It's striking & stunning! She used Blackberry Bliss and that background is the amazing New Horizon 6 X 6" DSP seen here. Her greeting is stamped on a stitched rectangle die-cut on Fresh Freesia CS.

Save

I changed the colors but still kept the large die-cut and the pretty paper the star of the card.

Save

The die-cut is Black, cut at 5 1/8" X 3 7/8". The New Horizons paper is cut just a hair smaller. We simply added two of the deer in the Grassy Grove dies and a greeting on an Oval punched piece.

Scroll down to see the video I made or click here.

The card bases were either Soft Succulent or Misty Moonlight as that coordinated with most of the designer paper scenes.
Save

Here is what the inside looks like. We stamped the trees in the Grassy Grove stamp set in Black and added a greeting. This greeting is part of the Special Moments stamp set seen here (free during our Sale-a-Bration promo now)

Save

Here are three of the cards all together. See how the New Horizons designer paper can change the background scene so easily? Everyone thought these made perfect masculine cards and sympathy cards as well.

Below is the quick video; click on the photo to watch it.
