  Roxann made this gorgeous Poinsettia card using Vanilla, Merry Merlot & Gold foil  Absolutely stunning!  

  

  Tracey made this adorable fireplace stocking card using the Sweet Little Stockings bundle.  

  

  She used the In Good Taste DSP for the mantle & hearth, white felt & Pattern Party DSP for the stockings. 

  Annette made this pretty card using the Peaceful Place DSP and the Delightful Tag Topper punch to connect the two halves. A beautiful monochrome card in grays & silver. 

  

  Tammi brought this neat fun fold card.  It was her first swap and she did an amazing job!

  She used the Whimsical Trees stamp set & Whimsy & Wonder DSP in Mint Macaron, Polished Pink & White with the pretty Iridescent snowflakes too.  

  

  Look how it opens!  The designer paper measures 4" X 10" and is scored at 2", 6" & 8"

• More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards

  October 28, 2021

  ---

  I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here.  And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

  this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods.  I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate.  A gorgeous card!

  

  Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace.  She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper. 

  

  At first glance it looks like a regular card front.  But wait…. look!

  

  She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside.  They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down. 

  She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail. 

  

  Isn't it cool?!  

  Measurements:

  • Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
  • White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside

  Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set.  Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.  

  

  She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge.  She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa.  But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

  

  Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers.  So smart! 

  Here's the inside view: 

  I love sharing what my Flowerbug's Team make; they're fabulous stampers!

• Christmas card swaps!

  October 27, 2021

  I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

  Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

  

  Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

  • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
  • Hippo & Basic Border dies
  • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
  • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
  • Soft Succulent ribbon

  And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder! 

  

  Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

  

  Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

  I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

  It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

  

  The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.
