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!

3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

July 16, 2020

You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet! You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up! It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog!

I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week. I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below

Save

The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder. Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers. Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too. The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.

Save

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody. The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.

Save

I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here. The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome.

Next is a simple baby wipe technique.

Save

I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches. The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.
