Seashells fun fold card; wow!

February 18, 2021

Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea! She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper. This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4"

2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!

November 24, 2022
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.

~~~

Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.

Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.

Save
Measurements are:
- Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
- DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
- Evergreen layer 4" square
Save

Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card. She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here.

Save

Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.

Measurements:
- Card base 5" X 10". Score at 2 1/2" & 5". You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark. From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners.
- Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark. Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners.
- Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
- Designer paper squares are 3"
Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!

Save

I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I? They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints

November 23, 2022
Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you. Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members.

First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

Save
- She used Night of Navy as her card base. It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2".
- The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.
- I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing. It's also 2" X 5 1/4"
It stands up nicely too. Here's what it looks like closed for mailing.

Save

The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

~~~

Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch.

Save

Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel? It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card!

She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.

Save

The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog. I love that snow hill curve!

Save

Measurements:
- White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
- Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line. That separates the sides from the front panel.
- DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.
Save
Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.
