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!

Who knew?!

February 5, 2022

If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed!

One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos. She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me! Incredible!

I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.

Thank you, THANK YOU!! You are why I LOVE what I do!

Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps

February 4, 2022
Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here. They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme.

The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold.

Save

I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. She sponged the sky & grass too.

Measurements:
- Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8"
- White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
- Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it.

Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla. I'd forgotten about this unique card fold! It looks like a normal card at first glance.

Save

But when you lift the front it reveals this!

She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front. She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip.

Measurements:
- Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
- Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6"
- Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
