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!

Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

March 24, 2022
I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month. The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.

I chose to use Magenta Madness. It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.

Save

I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY! There's no guessing with stamp placement.

Details:
- The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here.
- I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center.
- The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here.
- The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here.
- The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.

Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

March 23, 2022
We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here.

Save

Dies featured here:
- The Dandy Wishes dies in the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here. I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it. *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow…..
- The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog. You can see them here. I love the double layering you get with them!!
This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.

Save

You can see how this is assembled in the video below. I also list the measurements below too.

The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back. We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer. We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush. We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.

Save

Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time.

As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors. I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen! This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last. This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'. For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.
