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!

    And while you're considering kits tomorrow is the last day you can get the Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin kit.  
     
    The Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit contains enough supplies to create 12 treat packages which means you get to share the a-maize-ing treats with your friends and family! I've seen a glimpse of these and they are absolutely adorable and surprisingly unique.  Don't miss out on these! 
     
    These treat package designs are perfect for Halloween party favors or place setting favors at a fall feast. They're the perfect way to tell your family and friends to eat, drink, and be scary! It is also intended as home décor with the included wheelbarrow crafting opportunity!
     
    Also, this month’s Paper Pumpkin box is designed with pre-traced lines and instructions to create a vintage-inspired wheelbarrow as a place to display your too-cute-to-spook treat packages. *Like I said, I've seen it and it is just fantastic!

  • Harvest Meadow Fun Fold cards kit to go


    Today I'm sharing one of my September cards kit with you. I actually have two and will share the other one tomorrow. 

    This kit includes 10 pre-cut cards (2 each of 5 cards), 1/2 pkg. Nature's Harvest designer paper (6" X 12"), Metallic adhesive gems & Linen Thread.  It's a fabulous value as the product is worth $20 (without tax & shipping) and the cost is just $28 and the tutorial is free! The PDF tutorial includes photos, step by step directions, measurements to make more and a supplies list. 

    8 of these 10 cards are fancy folds and with the tutorial you'll have measurements to make more using other products.  


    You will need your own stamps, ink, adhesive and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements provided in the tutorial.  Everything else is cut & prepped for you. 

    *I make sure to use only greetings in my kits to go so you can substitute what you already own.  I used Sunny Sentiments, Biggest Wishes, Create with Friends sets here.  *Inks are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent & Versamark. 

    *Be sure to order by September 19th to get this kit!

  • Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia


    If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique.  If not, check this out!  

    You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too! 

    Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface.  Outline images won't work as well here. 

    Here's how it's done:

    1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock. 
    2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
    3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area. 
    4. Blow or dust off excess chalk.  Done!  

    Here's the video:
