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.  

  • 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.

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!

  • So Much Happy card with video


    We made this eye-catching, birthday card at my July card clubs last month.  It features the fun So Much Happy bundle.  

    I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars.  They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card.  That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies. 

    The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates!  Click here to see it. 

    Check out the video below to see how this card is made. 

    Measurements:
    Black CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Inside layer CS 4" X 5 1/4"
    Scraps of Rainbow glimmer paper, White, Designer paper for punches and die-cuts

  • Beautiful Autumn cards; swaps by the Flowerbugs!


    Today I'm sharing two more swaps from my Flowerbug's Fall card swap.  My Team members are so talented and I absolutely love seeing their creativity!  

    Both of these are made with the Beautiful Autumn bundle in the 2020 Holiday Catalog by Stampin' Up!.  

    First is the card Tracey made.  She added sooo many details and layers to her card; it's incredible! 

    Details:

    • Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss card stock
    • The pretty borders are from the Ornate Border dies seen here
    • The texture is done with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder
    • The punched leaves are from the Autumn Punch pack cut from the Regals DSP pack and some dies are from the Forever Flourishing dies

    Mary's card is almost the opposite of Tracey's; clean and simple where the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper is the star of the Mint Macaron card.  Her greeting is also from the Beautiful Autumn set as well as the stamped & punched leaves.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for the DSP and the greeting. 

    The Gilded Autumn paper has Copper and Gold foil on some designs. Some designs can be cut out using the Autumn Punch pack punches.

  • More amazing Team Fall swap cards!


    Here are three more beautiful cards my Flowerbug's Team made for our August card swap: 

    Jacki made this super colorful card using the Plaid Tidings and 6" designer series papers.  She cut 1" strips and arranged them using the diagonal technique I shared here: 

    Her greeting is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set seen here and the tag is from the Celebration Label dies here. 

    Deloris created this pretty card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle seen here.  It's full of die-cuts and stamps for multiple reasons & seasons!  Her colors are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze & Mint Macaron.  I really love that greeting sign!  It's actually an image in the set!

    Karen created this one with the Love of Leaves bundle seen here. 

    Her colors are Early Espresso, Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry and Gold foil. The designer paper strip is from the Gilded Autumn DSP.  I absolutely love the stitching on these dies and that die-cut that creates the stitched lines for texture is the bomb!
