Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet

June 10, 2024

I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.

It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it? I featured it at my May Card Clubs. I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how.

It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends. Want to know how to do this? Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.

I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this:

Modern Christmas card idea

October 15, 2025
Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

Save

Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

Save

I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

October 14, 2025
Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

Save

This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

Save

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Save

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

Save

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Save

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.
