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!

  • Beautiful Plaid card featuring the Grow with Love bundle


    I shared this pretty card on a recent video.  I made it for our Team swap which had a plaid theme. 

    It features the Grow with Love bundle seen here.  My colors include Basic Beige, Old Olive and Lost Lagoon – taken from the pretty Timeless Plaid layer. 

    The basil and stamped frame are all done with the Grow with Love dies.  The greeting is from the Mixed Label dies. I did sponge the edges and the leaves with Lost Lagoon ink.  The herb images in this set are so pretty and have Stampin' Up!'s distinktive style which shows off multiple hues with one inking.  The coordinating dies cut off the herb names; a great option if you do not want to include them.  

    The pretty embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. I'm so sad it's retiring!  This textured piece is made from our 2-toned Olive 12 X 12" card stock. When embossing this white core paper the texture reveals the white core just enough to enhance the texture.  I could have sanded it to reveal even more texture but I did not.  

    I created a free project sheet for this pretty card.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Grow with Love Plaid card 


    And here's the video tutorial for this card and a super-duper fun fold card:

  • Another sweet card with Wildflower Birthday & Labeled with Love


    Here's one more card featuring the beautiful Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP. 

    I changed up just a few things from the card I shared yesterday to make a totally new fun fold card.  Here I used Soft Sea Foam as my card base with Pretty in Pink and Blueberry Bushel accents.  

    I used the Labeled with Love stamp set & coordinating punch.  Unfortunately this stamp set just sold out; it was on the Last Chance/retired list. 

    Here's what it looks like opened.  

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 3 1/4" X 2 5/8"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP – left panel 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", cakes panel 3" X 2 3/8"

    And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

  • Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I'm excited to share this card with you today.  

    It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before.  With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.  

    I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards.  It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil.  It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating.  See it here. 

    I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here. 

    Here's how the cards look fully opened.  For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over. 

    There's a free project sheet with measurements, photos, supplies list and directions.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Remember these project sheets can be used as a starting point with whatever products you own! Download Wildflower Birthday April Club

    This stamp set just sold out but the Labeled with Love punch is carrying over into the new catalog.
