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"

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!

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.
Save

And it opens yet one more time! I love how she added details to every layer on each side. Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps

April 24, 2025

I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today. Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards.

Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.

Save

She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them. I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left. She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.

Save

She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP. Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges! Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie.

Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set.
Save

She also used the Textured Notes dies and the Plaid embossing folder. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.

More swaps coming tomorrow!
