Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

Ornate Garden Fun Fold cards Save

They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?

I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

Ornate Garden Fun Fold Terracotta Save

This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.

I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons!

The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.

  • Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

    First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

    July Annette frame Save
    Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

    Sampler details:

    • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
    • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
    • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
    • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
    • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2"

    Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him…..

    She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

    The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

    Details:

    • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
    • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
    • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

    Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.

    She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up:

  • Earthen Textures card with video tutorial

    I made this card for last week's Live video.  I LOVE the colors and textures!  

    Earthen Textures 1 Save

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    My colors include Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.  The designer paper for the background is the Earthen Elegance seen here.  I also used the Distressed Gold paper on the large pleated fan/leaf.  The die creates folds so you can add a lot of texture and dimension on your projects.

    I stamped both die-cut vases in Pretty Peacock ink onto Vanilla card stock.  I then sponged Pecan Pie ink onto them.  I wrapped the tall vase 3 times with the Natural Wavy trim. I've been loving using this unique trim; it was unavailable for over a month but it's back now.
