Pretty Center pop-out fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


I'm so excited to share this super neat fun fold card with you today!  It's called a Center Pop-out fun fold.  I found this neat fold from my friend Terri Gaines. 

I chose to feature the Thankful Garden bundle seen here and the Lovely Garden Designer paper seen here. 

I love these stencils!  They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple.  It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below. 

My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel: 

I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.  

I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.  

Here's the free project sheet with measurements & step by step directions.  Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download Thankful Garden Center pop up card

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another unique fun fold using the Lovely Garden designer series paper.

  • Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper


    This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow.  It could be a lot, or just a little.  We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'.  I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!  

    This first card was made by Barb.  She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.  

    I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper!  What a well coordinated card!  I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring.   And look at her inside!  She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!  

    Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper.  You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.  

    She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set.  She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

  • Right Behind You; so cute!


    I chose the Right Behind You stamp set for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  Here's my card:

    This set is adorable!  And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it. 

    Details:

    • I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
    • I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds.  Get my tips on this in the video below or click here. 
    • I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket. 
    • The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die. 
    • I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
    • I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle. 
    • The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink. 

    As you can see it's an easy fun fold card.  Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card.  Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

    I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.  

    Click on the video below to watch me make this card; it's the first project on this FB Live replay.  *You can also see how I made the Pinwheel Tower cards in the photo below.

  • Pinwheel Tower fun fold cards are easy but a sure WOW!


    I shared this super fun card on Tuesday's FB Live video.  The video is shown below.  Or click here to watch on my FB page.  Don't forget to follow me so you are notified when I go live. 

    I used the Sweet Symmetry designer paper and the In  Symmetry stamp set.  Colors are Night of Navy, Just Jade, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo.  I also used Holiday rhinestones for the bling. 

    This has to be one of the easiest fun fold cards I've made that's also totally unique. And it uses an exact 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock. On each panel you can add a perfect layer (2 1/2" X 4") or have fun adding various pieces of CS or DSP and greetings or stamped images.  

    Here are the measurements for you:
