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:

May Candace Poppy Save

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!

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

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!

  • Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog

    Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well.  Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.  

    I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products.  Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!  

    Su card stock Save

    So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot.  The price change goes into effect in early May.  Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.  

    Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay!  It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

  • Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits

    I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit. 

    PP March Daisy Daydream LG Save

    I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

    • Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
    • leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
    • Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
    • a Mossy Meadow layer
    • Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems

  • Timeless Plaid card kit for great men’s card ideas. Reserve yours now!

    If you're like me you tend to make more cards for the gals than the guys. So I thought I'd focus on men's cards for one of my kits & tutorials in April.  I chose to feature the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for these terrific cards. 

    Timeless Plaid cards . Save

    Aren't these great card ideas?  Many are fancy fold cards and perfect for the men in your life. The color combinations with the plaid DSP are quite eye catching. 

    You have a few options here:  Choose the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial. 

    This card kit includes the following items:

    • the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
    • 1/2 pkg Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper (6" X 6")
    • a share of the Faux Glass Dots
    • a share of Linen Thread
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.

    The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The pre-cut kit is $31 and is seen here. 

    Reserve yours soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues. 

    For the kit to go you'll need greeting images (I used With You in Mind and Unbounded Love sets but any will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. 

    I have multiple kits and tutorials available on my shop here.  Check them out!
