Two great Fun-fold card swaps today


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!

    This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make.  It looks like a normal card from this photo: 

    But look how it opens!  The center pops out for a nice surprise.  

    My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige.  The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

    I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.  

    In the photo below you can see the scored bridge strip that pops out the center.  To understand how to assemble this card please watch the video below.  It will make sense then!

  • Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!


    Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

    I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

    The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

    After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

    I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

    You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.  

    I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
