Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints


Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

 

  • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
  • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
  • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

Measurements:

  • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
  • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
  • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.

  • Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts


    Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

    I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

    And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)? 

    Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

  • Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!


    This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away!  Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards. 

    I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of. 

    This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration. 

    I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

    I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

  • Two ‘WOW’ technique cards with video


    This week's Facebook Live video featured two 'over the top' technique cards.  I uploaded it on YouTube so everyone could see it whether you're on Facebook or not. (scroll down to see the video) 

    If you are on FB be sure to follow my page so you catch each week's video on Tuesday's at 11 am CT. Here's the link to my page: www.facebook.com/flowerbugsinkspot 

    The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

    The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art.  If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique.  I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.


    The Heart Doilies make it super simple.  I used these products on this card:

    The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set.  I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting.  That makes it very versatile to me.
