Two great Fun-fold card swaps today

August 21, 2025

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!

Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!

June 10, 2022
I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week. I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.

I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday:

Save

I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies. I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.

The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last. BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off! See them here. It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long. I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.

I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card:

I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card. I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.

Easy Kite Delight Fun Fold card with video & measurements

June 9, 2022
I cannot believe I forgot to share this neat card! We made it at my April card clubs; it's a fun fold featuring the Kite Delight stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper.

Save

This stamp set is on the Last Chance list and is on sale at just $12.60 instead of $18.

The color combination includes Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Black & White. The kites are colored in with Blends markers and the Cloud Punch adds a fun detail for the greeting banner.

Save

Here's how it opens up to reveal the other side of your double sided designer paper. The Pattern Party DSP is retired now; it was in the annual catalog and free for hosts.

Save

As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit. I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.

Save

Measurements:
- Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", layer 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
  • DSP 4" X 10 3/4" scored at 3" & 8 1/4"

Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

June 8, 2022
Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month. See yesterday's cards here.

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

Save

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

Save

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"
Save

Here are some wonderful samples from Stampin' Up! with this unique bundle. See it here; but don't forget that the dies are sold separately at 50% off right now.
