Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!

I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.

I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.

The cute patterned balloons are cut from the new Beautiful Ordinary Life designer paper (seen here) and the new 2026-28 In Color Patterns DSP. See it here.

I created a free project sheet for you; click here to print or download it.

Below is the video where I shared this card and another featuring the same products.

• Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet

  November 30, 2023

  ---

  There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog!  It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is.  The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

  We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home.

  The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

  You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon. 

  I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

• More Magical Meadow fun fold cards by Judith

  November 29, 2023

  ---

  Yesterday I shared the cards Judith made as our Team Artist of the Month and today I'm sharing more. She did a wonderful job highlighting the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. 

  All of her cards have been fun folds; she does like to make fancy fold cards.

  This card features a center greeting layer that enfolds both front layers of her gatefold card.  She left it removeable so the recipient can add it or leave it off.  You can adhere it if you'd like; I usually add it to the left side.  

  The gorgeous leaves & berries image was done with markers; it coordinates with the Magical Meadow dies perfectly! She used the Deckled Circle dies seen here. 

  Below is the inside view with the center layer separate.

  Next is another fun fold card I call a double-flap card. She used the same sheet of Winter Meadow as the card above.

  She scored the right side of her double layered circles and adhered the scored flap under the inside layers. Clever!  

  The greeting layers are from the Autumn Leaves dies and of course she used the beautiful White & Silver mesh ribbon – all from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

  Thank you for sharing these beautiful projects with us Judith!

• Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

  November 28, 2023

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

  First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

  Measurements:

  • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

  The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

  Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

  The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

  I'll share more projects tomorrow!
