Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!

May 20, 2020

Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's! We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate. See the others here and here.

First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

Save

I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place. She has a tutorial for it here. Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card. So the finished size may be different.

Save

Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" . She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

Save

I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

~~~

Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here! I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too. It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!

Save

The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces! Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:

Calypso Coral base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
Designer paper is 4" X 5 1/4"
White is 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"

Last of the Holiday & Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps!

August 22, 2022
And here are the last of the Team swaps made by my Flowerbug members. Our theme was to use Holiday or Sale-a-Bration catalog items. They knocked it out of the park as usual!!

First up is a stunning card made by Marla. She featured the Peace To You stamp set seen here.

Save

She used TWO of the new specialty designer papers here – the Snowflakes 12" Vellum as an overlay on the stamped image. Then the long dotted strip is from the Metallic & Shimmer 6" paper. These are both in the 2022 Holiday catalog.

She added a wrap of Silver Metallic Mesh ribbon around the left edge, which helps hide any adhesive when adding the vellum.

Save

Next is a cute card using the Yeti to Party stamp set made by Monica. I LOVE her bright, happy colors for this holiday card.

Save

The color combo is Coastal Cabana, White & Calypso Coral. The designer paper background is the Sale-a-Bration 'Rings of Love'. She stamped snowflakes on it to make it more 'holiday' themed. She tore a strip of Happy Forest Friends DSP below it.

~~~

Lastly is a neat card made by Miles using the Tree Lot dies. Unfortunately these dies are out of stock now and not available. They were free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion but they ran out and will not be bringing them back. A sad reminder that Sale-a-Bration items are 'While Supplies Last'.

Save

There are so many neat details about this card:
- He die-cut a window in the Sahara Sand front panel with the Stylish Shapes dies
- The greeting is from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalog
- He added a strip of Natural 1/2" woven ribbon
- The background is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder
Here is a photo of all of our amazing August Flowerbug Team swaps!

Great card ideas from my Flowerbug’s Team swaps!

August 21, 2022
Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team in August. I hope you get some inspiration from them.

First is a sweet card made by Candy using the Caroling Mice stamp set. It's a hostess stamp set that's free with host rewards. See it and the details on page 86 of the Holiday catalog. Or click here.

Save

Her colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, White & Shaded Spruce. She colored the images in with Blends markers. I love how she paired the Merry Melody embossing folder with this!

The circles are from the Layering Circles dies and the designer paper is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP. It is currently out of stock but will return in September.

~~~

Next is another fun card using the same Caroling Mice set, made by Sharon.

She used a totally different color combo here – Orchid Oasis with White & Garden Green.

Save

We colored the mouse in with watercolor pencils and smoothed them out with a Blender pen. She used the Deckle dies for her rectangles, the Christmas Banner dies for the greeting and the trees are from the same set but fussy cut.

That dotted silver background paper is from the Silver & Gold DSP – currently available free with a $50 during Sale-a-Bration in August. Sale-a-Bration ends on the 31st!

We used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on the tree ornaments, the music notes and for his hat pompom! So fun!

Save

It comes in 3 colors – Black, White & Real Red. See this product here.

Save

~~~

Lastly for today is Becky's card – she loves to combine multiple stamp sets & dies for a super creative card!

Save

I'll list them here:
- Ornament, stars, bow & pine bough – Decorated Pine dies
- Plaid background in Red glimmer & Shaded Spruce – Candy Cane dies
- The ornament is made from Silver Foil paper & paper pieced with In Color glitter paper!

Beautiful swap cards with Holiday Catalog stamp sets

August 19, 2022
Today I'm sharing more of my Flowerbug Team card swaps featuring Holiday Catalog stamps or bundles.

First up is a beautiful card made by Tracey featuring the Perched in a Tree bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors are Soft Suede, Petal Pink and Mango Melody. The designer papers are Texture Chic and the Silver & Gold Sale-a-Bration DSP. We stamped & sponged the Silver & gold DSP to add coordinating colors.

The gold leaves are from the Chic dies cut from the Distressed Gold DSP. The solid leaves are from the Aspen dies. That pretty texture on the Soft Suede layer is the Twigs & Sprigs embossing folder seen here. All contribute to making this card stunning!

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Soft Suede 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP are both 3" X 4"
~~~

Next is a soft & pretty card Marilyn made. She used the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

Save

Her colors are Coastal Cabana with Soft Suede & White. The Splendid Stems dies add a delicate natural touch.

The White is textured with the Painted Texture embossing folder. The corners on this piece are punched with the new Very Best Trio punch seen here. The soft DSP is from the Splendid Day specialty paper seen here.

Save

Measurements:
- Coastal Cabana is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Soft Suede – 3 3/4" X 5"
- White is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- DSP & Coastal Cabana layers are 2 3/4" X 3 1/4"
~~~

Lastly for today is a pretty card made by Paula. She cased a card made by Colleen Magness. It features the pretty Soft Seedlings stamp set. It's a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of color when stamping. Although she did use a sponging technique to achieve her multiple colors.

Save

She inked the stamp in Crushed Curry first, then added Old Olive to the stem with a marker. Then used a finger dauber to add pumpkin pie and cherry cobbler ink on stamp. Huff & stamp!

The leaf texture on her Vanilla layer is made with the Leaf Fall 3D folder seen here. It's new!

Measurements:
- Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4" X 11"
- Vanilla 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
- Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" X 4"
- Pumpkin Pie 5 3/8 X 4 1/8"
Remember that if you're wanting any of the Holiday Catalog products it's smart to order in August so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!

I'll share the rest of our Team swaps soon.
