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!

Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

July 10, 2023
I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background. I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

Save

It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
2. Paper Florist dies
3. Countryside Corners dies
4. Blending Brushes
5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
6. Embossing paste Matte finish
7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio
Whew! And I didn't even list the ink and paper! My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
- I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight.
- I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife. Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too. I let that dry for a few hours.
- Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here. I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot. They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

I LOVE how they turned out.

I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week. Stay tuned!
