This quick Fun Fold design makes the most of your double-sides Designer Paper!

April 8, 2022

Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty? This beautiful card did that for me:

Save

I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

Here are the simple measurements:

Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side
DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
White inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper? I love it! Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too!

Save

See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.

Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Save

My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS.

This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month. See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!

Modern Christmas card idea

October 15, 2025
Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

Save

Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

Save

I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

October 14, 2025
Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

Save

This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

Save

I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

Save

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Save

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

Save

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Save

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.
