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 Stamping Tips you need to know!

July 11, 2025
I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.
- how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
- standard card sizes and layers
- which ink to use when coloring with markers
First up is the ruler and card measurements. Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

Save

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

~~~

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images. It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color.

Save

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:
- Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.
~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers. It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:
1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.
2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks.
3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

*I hope one or more of these tips help you. Let me know which one or two you learned from today.
