Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards

November 20, 2023

I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'.

This first card was made by Tracey. I think we all love the fractured card layout!

If you want to learn how to make a fractured card here's a link to a video I did.

Products used:

Walk in the Forest designer paper (2023 Holiday catalog)
More Dazzle specialty paper (2023-24 Annual catalog) – 1/4" strips
Brightest Glow stamp set (2023-24 Annual catalog)
Holly leaf die-cuts are from the St. Nicolas dies (Holiday catalog)
Christmas Tidings embossing folder (Holiday catalog)
Stylish Shapes dies – for 1 7/8" Vanilla square

Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

January 26, 2021
Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds. But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.

Save

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You can see it here. That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

Save

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really! Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:
1. A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces
Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open. Add your fun filler and seal closed.

Save

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards. Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card? That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here.

Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" *save the extra piece for the front layer ( 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

White 4" X 5 1/4", 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
