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!

Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season

September 15, 2021

Last month my local gals made these cards at class. It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template. I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images! It's one of my favorite things to create.

I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog.

I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set. On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece!

You can get the PDF tutorial for this one sheet wonder here on my Tutorial Shop. Once purchased you'll receive it via email. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for it!

*Those who've purchased this tutorial from me from my Shop have been sent an updated file free of charge!

This tutorial includes 4 different sets of card ideas featuring some of my favorite stamp sets in the past year.

Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!

September 14, 2021
I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away. It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly. Details on this box below; or click here.

I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here. Other products used were:
- Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
- Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
- Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
- Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
- clear embossing powder & Heat Tool
Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede? And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

Here's a picture of everything you get in the Sparkle of the Season bundle. See it here or on page 58 of the Holiday catalog.

I bet you're wondering where this card box is from. It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion. See it here or on page 11 or 75. There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly! Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture. Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window.

Here's a link to the video; it's the first project featuring the Sparkle of the Season dies. The photo shows my Halloween cards but it is the correct video!

Ready for some fabulous ‘Cute Halloween’ projects?! Check out the video tutorial

September 13, 2021
Look at this adorable Halloween card I made on last week's FB Live. Follow me on Facebook here so you don't miss my weekly videos! There's on tonight at 7:30 pm CT and every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

Product used:
- the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog. See it here.
- I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
- the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
- the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
- Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath
Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above. It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front. I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right? I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

Measurements:
- White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right
- Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”,
- White & Fresh Freesia 3 ¾” X 4 ¾”, Black ½” X 4” strip for greeting
- Cute Halloween DSP ½” strips
I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card. Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video. I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.
