Fun Fold – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Christmas themed fun-fold swaps

October 12, 2020

Last Friday I started sharing last month's fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. Here are a few more

Jacki created this one using the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp set. It's a latch card!

Once you add the layers to the card front you'll use the Classic Label punch to create the window for the latch to catch into.

Measurements:

Night of Navy card base 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
DSP 3 3/4" square on the front; 1 1/4" X 4" on the inside right edge
Pretty Peacock 4" square ont he front and a thin strip on the right inside edge
Latch – Navy 2" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
Vanilla latch 1 3/4" X 2 3/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

Here's another card made by Paula featuring the Little Treat Box dies and the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.

She cut the treat box dies into separate pieces (Garden Green & Vanilla) for her card front. It also opens up to reveal a gift card holder inside. Lots of texture with the Winter Snow embossing folder too!

Measurements:

Garden Green card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla 5 3/8" X 4 1/8"
Real Red 4 1/2" X 10 3/4" scored at 3/4", 4" and 7 1/4"
Poinsettia Place DSP 4 1/4" X 3"

Stop back again for more Fun Fold cards! I have lots more to share!

Delightful Florals fun fold card with an easy tuck closure & free project sheet!

September 29, 2023
I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. Can you tell it's a fun fold card?

It features the new Delightful Florals designer paper; only seen in our Online Exclusives here. This card will be included in a pre-cut kit to go & tutorial in October. See all of my available kits here.

The colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and White.

Here's the open view:

It might look like an ordinary opening but you can see in the photo below how the lower flap tucks under the vertical banner to hold it closed. An interesting take on a gatefold card!

Book-binding Fold & Tuck card with video & free project sheet

September 28, 2023
Here's the second card I shared in last week's video; it's a book-binding card with a twist! The main panel features the 'Tuck & Fold' technique I shared a few weeks ago. See that card here.

The designer paper is the Translucent Floral Online Exclusive seen here.

Supplies:
- Center greeting circle is from the Radiating Stitches dies seen here.
- The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set
- Basics 3D embossing folders were used on the Lemon Lime Twist layer
- 2022-24 In Color Baker's twine and Sequins Trio are the embellishments
Download the free project sheet here: Download Delightful Florals Book Binding card

The pinwheel like layer above starts out with a 6 X 6" piece of designer paper. You score it at 1 1/2" on all sides and cut off the corners as seen below.

Then you fold in the outer rectangles into the center and fold back one corner on each side. Watch the video below to see how it's done. It's quite easy!

Save two of the corners you cut off and cut them in half on the diagonal. It really jazzes up the inside of this card!

You can see all three cards included in the video below. Click here to watch it, or scroll down a bit.

All About Autumn Triple Stack & Cut cards

September 27, 2023
I wanted to share another version of the Triple Stack & Cut cards that I shared yesterday. I made these for my September Team card swap:

I shared how to make these cards here; I also have a video below you can watch. It's a fun way to use your designer paper and make really quick but eye-catching cards.

As you can see in the photo below it's a type of mix & match game.

Tip: when choosing your designer papers I recommend you pick a large and small print and then one that is more of a background print.

The card base and Deckled circle are Pebbled Path. I used the Autumn Leaves bundle for my stamps & die-cuts. See it here.

*This pretty designer paper is currently unavailable but is expected back the week of October 9th.
