WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!


Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle.  All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.  

First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.  

She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!  

So fun!  And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.  

Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" 
  • front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
  • White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
  • Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4" 

She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks.  All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set. 

Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat! 

Here's the inside view.  The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set. 

Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.  

She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle. 

Products used:

  • Beary Cute bundle
  • Night of Navy, White, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue card stock
  • Inks – Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight (scarf) and Mossy Meadow
  • Deckled circles dies, Navy & Gold glittered ribbon, Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • Balmy blue and White inside 4" square
  • DSP strip 1 1/8" X 4"

  • Last card in the Joseph’s Coat series with a video & free project sheet for each!


    Here’s the last card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique this week.  You can see the video tutorial below.  

    It features the Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I love this set! But I love the dies in the bundle even more.  See the bundle here. 

    I used two of our newest In Colors here – Secret Sea and Timid Tiger.  I love the fact that the Secret Sea matches the Cloud Cover card stock I used for the card base; when sponged lightly. 

    Both of these colors are part of the big In Color sale during August, 2025!  It includes card stock, inks, markers, designer papers, embellishments, kits and lots more!  Check out the many discounted products here. 

    If you’re wondering how to make this incredible colorful effect please watch the video below.  I also gave the step by step directions in this post.

  • Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video


    Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

    My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

    This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

    Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

    I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

  • A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts


    Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

    I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

    These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

    This technique involves a few steps:

    1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
    2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
    3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
    4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
    5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
    6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

    Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

    I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
