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! 

Measurements:

  • 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
  • Largest circle die-cut is 3", White inside is 2 1/2" 

Stop back in for more gorgeous card swaps tomorrow!

  • Reserve your Holiday designer paper share now!


    The designer papers in the upcoming 2016 Holiday catalog & newest Online Exclusives are amazing! I had a few requests to offer a share of them. If you like getting a sample of all of the new papers a share is a great option. Then you can decide if you want to order a full pack.

    The photo below shows all but one set of papers included. It’s a big bunch!

    I’m including specialty papers, new Online Exclusive papers and of course every new DSP in the catalog! There will be 82 sheets of 6 X 6″ paper in this share.

    Reserve yours here; it will be open for a few weeks into September. It’s $39 plus approximately $10 shipping in the US. *I am not offering a ribbon or embellishment share this time.

    Once the catalog goes live in early September I will order the shares. It can take up to a few weeks for it to arrive, prepped and mailed.

  • Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.


    I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

    You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

    I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

    My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

    The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

    I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

    You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
