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!

Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Save

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

Save

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!

April 23, 2021
I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much! This first one features the True Love designer paper:

Save

It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need. They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

Save

You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here. The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.

There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper. The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years. Click here to get this kit.

Save

**You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

The kit includes the following:
- Box supplies; cut & scored
- 5-6 pre-cut cards
- Tags; punched and ready for stamping
- Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)
It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.

I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work. You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.

Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

April 22, 2021
I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in. I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set.

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black.

Can you spy all of the new products I used? There are 5 if you count everything.

Save
1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle.
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off). I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Save

Look at the new Gingham paper! It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack. Look at the gorgeous ribbon! It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors.

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting. It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes. I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here. Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!
