Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

February 9, 2026

We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:

I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

2nd set of my Team’s awesome masculine swap cards

July 19, 2022
Yesterday I shared 4 of my Flowerbug's Team manly card ideas for our July card swap. Today I have three more. I'm so proud of them; it's obvious they really did their best to make incredible swaps.

Today's first card was made by Candy. She used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set & Grassy Grove bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Soft Suede & Mossy Meadow. Here are some tips on how she achieved this amazing card:
1. Die-cut the tree & grass silhouette from White CS using the Grove dies. Trim to 5" X 3 3/4".
2. Stamp the bear on the background White layer (51/4" X 4")
3. Stamp the grass image on the bottom of the die-cut.
4. Use the trio of trees image to stamp all over the 'foiliage' area of the die-cut using Mossy Meadow ink, stamping 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of ink.
5. Use a blending brush to add more green as needed.
6. Sponge color to the edges of all layers.
7. Distress the edges with the side of your scissors.
8. Use a Soft Suede Blends marker to color the trunks.
9. Adhere the die-cut over the bear image. Add to the card base.
10. Stamp & add the greeting layer.
Amazing, right?!! So proud of you Candy!

Next is another incredibly detailed card made by Roxann. She used the Beauty of Friendship stamp set seen here.

Save

I love her corner details but the layer of vellum that softens her stamped trees background is amazing! It gives an ethereal or foggy feel to the scene. She used Mossy Meadow with Early Espresso ink & card stock.

I love the triple tag detail on her greeting. I believe that is from the Mini Pocket Envelope dies. Such a unique & special card.

Lastly for today is a pretty scenic card made by Deloris. She used the Grassy Grove bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Soft Suede, White and a bit of blue for her sky. I believe she used Blending Brushes for that soft background.

Here's what's included in the Grassy Grove bundle.

Save

There are a lot of die-cuts here; in fact everything on the front is a die-cut! The ground, trees & deer are all from the Grove dies. The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and that die is from the All That dies.

All are incredible cards for the men in our lives and I couldn't be prouder of them!

Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

Lots of amazing Masculine card ideas this week!!

July 18, 2022
This weekend my Flowerbug's Team met for our monthly gathering and swap. Our theme was masculine cards and wow, did they get creative. I'll be sharing them all week long!

Note that each of these animals are stamped in just one color. There's no need to color them in; let the beautiful images be the star!

This first card is made by Kim; she used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set from the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!

Save

The unique dies she stamped & layered are from the Diorama dies seen here.

Her card is a book binding fun fold. The main card measures 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/2" & 5 1/2" for the side & front fold. The designer paper is from the He's the Man DSP on page 134 of the Annual Catalog. It measures 3/4" X 4" & 4 1/4" X 4".

~~~

Next is another simple yet striking card made by Marilyn. She used the Wild & Sweet stamp set seen here in the Annual Catalog.

Save

Again, simply stamping the gorgeous detailed image in one color is all you need. The colors include Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow & Pear Pizzazz with Very Vanilla.

Other products are the Fern 3D folder, Stylish Shapes, Stitched Rectangles & Picture This dies. The gems are the Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots.

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Fern embossed layer 5 1/4" X 4",
- Vanilla & Early Espresso die-cuts 4" X 2 5/8"
~~~

This next card was made by Paula; she featured TWO new Sale-a-Bration items on her unique card.

Save

I love that she made the rings of Love designer paper the star by 'framing' it. The 1 3/4" X 3" 'frame' is made with our new 'Deckled Rectangle dies' seen here. This DSP is from the Sale-a-Bration selection called Rings of Love seen here. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.

The greetings are from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set; also in the Sale-a-Bration catalog & seen here. She stamped on the Sahara Sand layer before she textured it with the Timber 3D embossing folder. The White Frayed ribbon adds a neat detail.

~~~

Last but not least is a wonderful card made by Karen. She is featuring the Stylish Sketches stamp set; a free choice from the current Sale-a-Bration catalog. *see it here

Save

Her colors include Cajun Craze with Sahara Sand. I really like the images stamped on the Sahara Sand instead of our usual White or Vanilla.

That pretty DSP is from the Sale-a-Bration selection called Rings of Love seen here. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. The greeting is from the coordinating Ringed with Nature set in the Holiday catalog.

Measurements are:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Cajun Craze 5 1/4" X 4" and 4" X 2 1/2"
- DSP 5" X 3 3/4"
- Sahara Sand stamped layer 3 1/2" X 2"
Stay tuned for more manly card ideas tomorrow and all this week!

NEW Soft Seedlings set ideas

July 15, 2022
I joined a few online swaps and decided to use the Soft Seedlings set (seen here) as I wasn't quite ready to play with Christmas yet. I love the distinktive quality of the main image and the greetings are some I use often. *Distinktive is a process Stampin' Up! developed for their images that gives multiple hues of color on a stamp.

Save

For my colors I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent and a bit of Evening Evergreen with Vanilla.

Save

Details:
- I stamped the background in Soft Succulent ink on the Vanilla CS and sponged the edges.
- The strip of Soft Succulent CS is embossed with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.
- I stamped the leaf images in Soft Succulent ink and sponged ink directly on the stamp. I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler on one side and Evergreen on the other. Then huffed and stamped on a scrap of Vanilla CS. It's fussy cut and added to the card with a Vanilla twine bow.
- The greeting is from the stamp set and die-cut with a die from the Potted Succulents dies.
Save

Measurements:
- Cherry Cobbler card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Vanilla 4 5/8" X 2 3/4"
- Soft Succulent 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"
