Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards


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.  

Products used:

  • Gift of Giving stamp set (2023 Holiday catalog)
  • Shining Christmas specialty designer paper ( was in the online exclusives; now sold out)
  • Stylish Shapes dies for circles (2023-24 Annual catalog)

She added designer paper to the inside too!

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 3/4" from each side.
  • Designer paper is 2 1/2" X 4" – 4 pieces; 2 for the front and 2 for the back

  • A new catalog sneak peek!


    I’ve joined a ton of swaps to get lots of samples for my upcoming New Catalog Open House party on May 2nd. If you’re local stop in between 11:30-1:30 pm that day at my home studio.

    Here’s one of the swaps I made:

    It is made with the Opulent Oasis bundle. This bundle will be available to order on May 5th.

    My colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and the new Crisp Cantaloupe (card base). I love the colors together! Can you tell there’s a hint of White on some of the raised texture? I rubbed my Craft White ink pad over the surface afterwards.

    Notice that big textured floral element – that is made with something brand new, called Impressions dies.

    Here’s how you use them: I used the die first to cut out the flower like usual. It did not have the deep impression in it with the first cut. Then I put in in the Cut & Emboss machine again with the same die but this time added the new Impressions mat. This floppy, stretchy mat pushes the card stock into the die and gives that deep texture. So cool! I’ve heard you can use other ‘non-impression’ dies with this mat too!

    There are a few new & exciting impression dies coming out in the new catalog on May 5th.

    I hope you’re getting excited about all of the new products that are coming to you in this fabulous new catalog. I know you’ll love it.

  • NEW color & bundle in this fun fold card with free project sheet & video


    One of my favorite new In Colors is Hydrangea Hue and pairing it with the new All Aflutter bundle was a perfect match-up!

    There are 5 new products featured on this card; all from the upcoming 2026 May-August catalog.

    – All Aflutter stamp & punch bundle
    – Hydrangea Hue ink and card stock
    – 2026-28 In Color printed DSP
    – Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder
    – Hydrangea Hue 3/8″ ribbon

    These products are available to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators right now (pre-order period) but customers can start purchasing them on May 5th! That’s when the new 2026 May – August catalog debuts. Start your ‘wishlist’!

    This new All Aflutter bundle is a BIG favorite of mine; I love the coordinating butterfly images and that punch.

    This card is a fun fold layout. Can you see the separation between the White layer and the DSP under it? The textured layer is adhered to just the left side of the card front which leaves an area to slide the right side of the White CS between the layers. It’s so cool!

    I created a free project sheet with measurements for this card. Click here to print or download it.

    It’s so easy to make but you’ll want to watch the video tutorial below will help you understand it.
