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!

This week I'll be sharing the cards I made on last week's FB Live video. I chose to feature the pretty Wisteria Wishes bundle seen here.

Join me here for tomorrow's video.

My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White. This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind. There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though. I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better. You can see what I did in the video below.

This bundle is super versatile! I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well. You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!

Products used:
- Wisteria Wonder bundle
- Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party card stock & ink, Old Olive ink
- Stitched Rectangle dies

Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!

June 17, 2022

I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them. They really are the best stampers!

The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.

This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors! Look at this fun layout!

She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky. Super cute!

Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.

She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves. I love this sweet bundle!

Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.

I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally. What a fun card layout this is!

I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards. See the first set here and the second here.

2nd set of Incredible In Color card swaps by the Flowerbugs

June 16, 2022
Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more.

The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A. This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card. The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4".

Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.

She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

The tag dies are the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.

She used the Layering Circles and Stylish Shapes dies for her circle element. The pretty texture is the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder seen here.

Her measurements are:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/2" & 6 1/2"
- DSP 5 1/4" X 2 1/4"
- textured layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
- inside White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8"
The last card I'm sharing today was made by Miles & Laura and features the Flowers & Leaves punch and the 6 X 6" In Color designer series paper. Isn't it fun!?!

I'll be back with the last set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!
