Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!

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!

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. 

Beccy's Place: Tutorial: Kite Fold Card 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.

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!

  • Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

    We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

    Pattern Party green Save

    I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired.

    You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

    The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.

  • Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

    I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

    It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time. 

    Penguin gift card Save

    This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

    Details:

    • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
    • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
    • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

    This card opens up like this:

    There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

  • Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

    Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 

    Gift bag pop up inside Save

    Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

    I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

    I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

    I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included.
