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!
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.
Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces
The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects! Say that three times! Ha!
I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance. Easy peasy!
Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundleseen here.
Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool. Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.
Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video
Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!
I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:
See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here? There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers. It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.
I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper. It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate. I kept mine quite simple.
I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere. See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.
You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
