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.  

June Marla Countryside Inn Save
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!

  • Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!

    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

    In the Grove swap . Save

    It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

    IN THE GROVE BUNDLE Save

    My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

    Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

    That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.

  • Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!

    I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video.

    It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;

    This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

    To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

    I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:

  • A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!

    If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!  

    Meandering Meadows April club Save

    Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side. 

    Isn't that the best & most simple layout?!  Think of the many cards you could make with this design. 

    The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack.  This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

    MEANDERING MEADOWS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good.  That's how the Online Exclusive products work.  

    Here's an inside view:

    There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

    I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

     The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now.  The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.
