Two great Fun-fold card swaps today


Today I’m sharing two more of my Flowerbug Team swaps and both are fun fold layouts.  Our theme was Monochromatic cards and these cards include similar colors.  

First is Kim’s card featuring the Peace on Earth bundle that’s coming in the new 2025 Holiday catalog in September; just a few weeks away!  The long leaves die-cut is from the Memorable Blooms dies but is now retired.  

Her colors include Cloud Cover with Pretty Peacock & White.  For the large oval die-cuts she used the Impressions Abloom dies seen here.  The Damask Designs embossing folder was used on the Cloud Cover 2-toned card stock panel. 

Measurements:

  • card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″
  • 2-toned CS textured panel 2 1/2″ X 4″
  • Peacock inside 5 1/4″ X 4″ 

Here’s how her card opens:  These doves in this upcoming bundle are so pretty.  Perfect for sympathy, wedding or other events.

Next is a cute card made by Candy featuring the Jar of Joy stamp set seen here.  It coordinates with the Sweet Jar punch seen here. 

Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party & White. Embossing folders are So Swirly & Damask Designs. Dies are Nested Essentials and Textured Notes. 

It’s a neat fun fold card that opens up from each side: 

She’s calling it a ‘Buckle Fold card’. Here are her measurements:

  • Peacock card base 6 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/4″, latch strip is 5 1/4″ X 2″ score at 2 3/4″
  • Pool Party 2″ X 5 1/4″
  • Lost Lagoon die-cut 2 3/8″ X 3″
  • White inside 4″ X 5 1/4″,  Textured Notes greeting die-cut

Tomorrow I’ll share the last of our Monochromatic swaps!

  • Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial


    I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

    The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

    For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

    This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

    It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

    The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

    This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

    The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

    Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

    It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.

  • You’ll want to make this easy box for cards. Grab the free tutorial!


    I shared this fabulous box for gifting or storing cards in on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those projects you NEED to make!

    I found a similar project on Pinterest but the measurements weren’t for A2 cards so I reconfigured it and came up with this one. I love it and the fact that it’s super easy makes it a must have to save among your project ideas.

    I used Secret Sea card stock, the DSP and with the retiring Branching Out dies (so sad!) for the front. The Secret Sea bordered ribbon is perfect to wrap and tie into a bow for giving.

    If you don’t have these Branching Out dies; I think they’re a must have! Get them ASAP before they’re gone for good.

    It features the Lovely Blossoms suite; especially the Lovely Blossoms designer paper here and the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here.

    I added three cards & envelopes inside the box but it would fit 5-6 cards if they’re not too thick.

    I’ll share the cards in my blog post tomorrow. But in the meantime the template for this box is below.

    I created a free project sheet for both the box and the cards. Please click here to print or save it!

    The video tutorial is below; please watch it to see how to assemble the box.
