Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

Measurements:

Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.

I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.

Measurements:

• Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
• White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
• White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
• Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
• DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

• Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

  October 14, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made: 

  Save

  I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

  Here's how I stamped the inside.  

  Save

  For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

  The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here. 

  Save

  I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

  Here are the measurements:

  • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
  • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
  • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

  Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
