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!

Darling Donkey’s Birthday card

January 29, 2021
The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now. So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January. We made this cute but easy card:

Save

The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black. That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February. See it here.

Save

Both are free with any $50 order! I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.

Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!

The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here. It has lots of fun birthday greetings!

Measurements:

- So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
- Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
- White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4"
I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent. I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue. The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

January 28, 2021

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:

Save

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live. I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best! No die-cuts or punches either! Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.

Save

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Save

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies. See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers. Love these so much!

Save

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below:

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out. What do you think?
