Today I have the last set of swaps my Flowerbug’s created for our Christmas card swaps this month. They’re super talented!

First is a beautiful card made by Tracey who used a variety of designer paper blocks & strips to create a focal point for her greeting.

Her designer paper is from the Online Exclusive pack called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. You can see it here. The leaf & berry die-cuts are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. One of my favorites!

Look at this gorgeous nativity scene Candy made for her swap! She used the A Child is Born set seen here.

She used blends markers to color the scene on Crumb Cake card stock. The die-cut is from the Branching Out dies, the embossing folder is the Peaceful Greenery folder. Just stunning! Just look at her beautiful coloring.

And lastly today is a pretty card made by Gwen who featured the incredible Traditions of Christmas suite seen here.

This beautiful designer paper is currently unavailable until November. The stunning greeting & die set called Traditional Labels is a classic. See it here.

Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

July 21, 2025

Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?! They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with.

Save

I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

Save

Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here. I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink. Pretty cool!

I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

Save

My colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White for a fresh floral card design. Want to know the steps to achieve a shaker card? Best to grab the free project sheet below or watch the video tutorial.

Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique

July 18, 2025
Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

Save

Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing.

Here's how she made this card:
1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base.
2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die. *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.
3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers. Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder. Finish with gems.
Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder? It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

Save

And look how she finished the inside! She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly.

Thanks so much for your gorgeous card Tracey!
