Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team


Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.  

This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.  

It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not!  It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side! 

Measurements are as follows:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
  • Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right.  *same on the inside

It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base.  So cool and smart!  I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.  

She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here.  If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.   

She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.  

Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?)  She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker! 

It's a 'book-binding' card fold.  Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.  

Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.  

The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!

  • An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

    Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

    I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
    My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

    There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

    What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

    I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

    I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!

  • Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle


    I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

    I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

    There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
    First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

    It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
    – Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
    – Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
    – Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

    Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!
