I love gold & glitz on Christmas cards!

October 17, 2025

Here are another set of gorgeous holiday cards made by my Flowerbug’s Team.

First is a pretty card made by Kim who chose the Peace on Earth bundle seen here.

That stunning designer paper is called Season of Elegance and can be seen here. She embossed the DSP with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. Simple & stunning.

Check out this pretty fun fold card made by Paula:

She featured lots of new products! The stamp set is Branching Out and is stamped on a tag from the Patterned Tags dies seen here which is also where that cute bow is from. The Designer Paper is the Traditions of Christmas specialty paper and the embossing folder is Forever Plaid. Whew!

Her measurements are:

Vanilla card base 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, Vanilla scored layer is 2 3/4″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″, textured layer is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ & the DSP is 2 strips 3/4″ X 5 1/4″

I’ll share the last of our Team swaps next week.

Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

November 17, 2023
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!

Save

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!

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
Save

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 bundle seen here.

Save

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.

Save

I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.
