Spring Corners fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


I totally enjoyed making this neat fun fold card.  It shows off this neat stamp set wonderfully! 

I wanted to highlight the flower image as well as the neat greeting. I used Stampin' Write markers to color my image before I stamped. 

Tips on coloring stamps with markers:

  • always us a water-based marker (never a Blends 'permanent' marker)
  • color with the lightest color first so you don't contaminate your tip with a darker color
  • huff on the image before stamping to moisten the inks – this gives a brighter image

This neat fold starts with an 11" X 4 1/4" card base with a small fold back on the front. Then the DSP layer is added behind it.  

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss or Granny Apple Green and White. The DSP is the Toadstool Gardens and the ribbon is the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon – both are from our free Sale-a-Bration choice.

  • 3 great fun fold ideas from my Team swaps


    You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap.  I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:

    Lori made this cute 'gift box' card.

    She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too.  She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:

    Measurements: 

    • DSP 2 pieces of each at 3 7/8" X 4 1/2" (striped), Red is 1 1/8" X 4 1/2"
    • Real Red 4 1/4" X 2" score in half at 1" (poke two holes for threading ribbon), 3" X 4 1/4" inside pocket
    • White 2 3/4" X 4" inside pocket layer
    • scraps for die-cuts 

    Next is a sweet card made by Joan who did make a pocket card!

    She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies.  Isn't her coloring fabulous?  She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.  

    Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP. 


    She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center.  Love this idea!  See the Sweetest Star bundle here. 

    Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!

  • Get great ideas from our Team Christmas card swaps made with Online Exclusives


    Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas.  And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products!  If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products!  Click here to see them all. 

    Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle.  I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!

    Isn't it incredible?!  Besides all of the small stamps she die-cut she also cut out nine 1" stitched squares per card!  Wowsers!  

    Here's the adorable bundle below. Click here to see it in my store.  I love the many images and the greeting labels a lot. 

    Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one.  It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper. See it here. 

    See that cute greeting & die-cut?  They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.

    Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above?  It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.  


    She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here.  You can find it in our Online Exclusives.  It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies.  I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!

    Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!

  • 2 more Season of Elegance & Peaceful Season cards with free project sheets & video


    Yesterday I shared a gorgeous fancy fold card and today I have two more pretty cards as well.  They all feature the Season of Elegance suite. 

    I'll start with this one which has Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Gold:

    I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too.  I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here) to the Beige layer before I textured it.  A neat trick to showcase them both.  

    Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it. 

    Click on the following link to print off or download this free project sheet: Download Season of Elegance Christmas card

    Here's a view of this gorgeous designer paper:

    Next is a pretty card featuring the Cherry Cobbler and Gold DSP in this pack.  

    It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again.  I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.  

    This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers.  It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well. 

    I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well.  It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder.  It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.  

     

    Here's the free project sheet for this card. Download Gifts of Christmas card

    I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.  

    **Did you know you can get the entire Season of Elegance Suite for just $99 (regular price $154.75)?!  And shipping is free!  Add it to your Starter kit here by October 31st. An incredible deal! 

    Below is the video for these two cards and another neat fun fold too.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too.
