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!

  • Simple Lily of the Valley card; it’s a WOW! Grab the free project sheet or watch the video


    I shared this beautiful Lily of the Valley card on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those cards that looks simple and easy but involves a bit of effort.

    I used the Lily of the Valley dies along with the Everyday Arches dies on the vellum and the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder (it’s back in stock) for the background. White & Granny Apple Green are my colors here.

    Since I did-cut the flowers from White CS I used a Granny Apple Green blends marker to color the stems on the flowers. I also curled the die-cut leaves a bit and cut one apart for the thicker stems in the center area. Watch the video to see how.

    Did you notice there isn’t a greeting on the front? It’s okay to leave them off now and then. This way my card can be used for any purpose.

    I didn’t even stamp one on the inside. Just a simple leaf/flower image. Click here to see the Lily of the Valley in my store. It’s wonderful.

    I created a free project sheet for this card as well as my video below. Click here for the project sheet you can download or print.
