Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.

October 12, 2023

I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.

Save

I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here.

She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here.

Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.

This card starts out at 10 1/2" X 4 1/4" and with a few score lines and a trim of the end points, you'll achieve this neat fun fold.

Three pretty swap cards with great layouts

April 30, 2026

Our Team swap theme was nature or animals this month. I’m sharing three pretty cards I think you’ll want to case.

First is a card made by Jonna who is featuring the Nature’s Symphony suite.

Save

She used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and the Nature’s Walk designer paper here. I love the layout so much! Adding your greeting strip across the front is a fantastic way to break up the large layers.
Her colors include Pretty Peacock and White.

Measurements are as follows:

– Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
– Pretty Peacock large layer 5 3/8″ X 4 3/8″, small layer 3″ X 4 1/4″, strip 4 1/8″ X 1″, inside is 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
– White 2 3/4″ X 4″, inside 4″ X 5 1/4″
– DSP 4″ X 5 1/4″

Save

Inks used: Pretty Peacock and White Craft ink.

The next card is made by Tracey who used a new to me’ tearing technique on her pretty card:

Save

She used the Floral Charm designer paper. Actually it’s just one sheet and measured 3″ X 4″ before she tore it. The technique she used is called ‘Rip & Flip’. You tear the lower half off and flip it to reveal the other side. Slide the torn piece under the upper portion to hide the ‘cut’ side. So cool!

Look at the ribbon above the greeting circle. She formed loops of Berry Burst 1/4″ shiny ribbon and adhered it underneath the flowers and greeting. So smart and unique!
The colored and die-cut flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora bundle seen here.

Measurements:

– Pretty Peacock card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
– Berry Burst 4 1/4″ X 3 1/4″
– DSP 4″ X 3″
– White circle die-cut

Lastly is Candy’s card featuring the Nature’s Symphony stamp set with a neat technique:

Save

She cased this technique from Kim Quade. She created a window with the Stylish Shapes dies and another piece of paper. She used Blending Brushes inside the window for the soft, multicolored look and stamped the leaves before removing her mask.

Her ink colors include Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Fresh Freesia. She stamped the images with Secret Sea. Beautifully done!

I’ll share more swap cards tomorrow.
