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!

Today's project is one I made for two reasons. One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap.

It's sweet & summery!

You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers. Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here. Here's what the full sheet looks like:

And the best part? The new Inked & Tiled punch pack matches this paper perfectly with very little waste!

The punches are in a bundle with the Inked & Tiled stamp set here.

My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink. I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8". That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".

The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.

This is one of the reasons I ordered these punches; for greetings. But they sure make a sweet card front too.

I think you could use other small images, stamped or designer paper, and do this same thing!

Below are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.

Here's the link to see a recent video featuring this card. I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!

June 19, 2023

This easy fun fold is so smart! It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.

How? Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2". Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark. This piece is then flipped and is the front panel. So smart!

The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes!

The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout. This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have! You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one. And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP.

I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.

I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting. The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here.

Here's the link to see my recent video featuring this card. I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

June 16, 2023

We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club. It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.

I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry. This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!

Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center. Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other.

It's fun to play with too. We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base. Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

See the stamp set here and the Brewed dies here.

The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry. Measurements and video can be seen below.

Measurements:
• Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
• Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
• Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square
• White inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for beer & foam

Click here or on the photo below to see this card made in my video. It's one of three I share.
