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.

More Earthen Textures card ideas

August 11, 2023

Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video.

Save

It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle. Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon. But they'll be back I'm sure. You can see them here.

I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock. A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls. I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.

And here's a very simple version with a similar layout:

Save

I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one. I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls?

I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out. Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock.

Save

The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts. See them here on this post.

You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here. Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning. Or follow me on YouTube here.

Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial

August 10, 2023

I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.

Save

For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies. The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set. The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.

To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.

I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too.

Save

I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group. Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.
