Merriest Moments & Spruced Up Christmas card ideas

This week it's all about sharing October's Team swaps with a Christmas theme.  I know you love seeing what they make as much as I do!

First is a gorgeous card made by Kim with the Merriest Moments stamp set & Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder.  These products were a bundle in last year's Holiday catalog, but this year they are offered separately.  

Oct Kim MerriestMoments Save

She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.  

Did you know you can cut and emboss card stock at the same time with our Hybrid embossing folder & dies?  See them here; it's sooo cool!

Absolutely stunning!

Next up Paula used the same dies and stamp set, plus she added the Christmas Banners bundle to it as well.  

Her colors are Real Red with Garden Green & White.  

Oct Barb Meriest Moments Save

She turned it into a fun fold too but scoring the front panel one extra time at 2 1/8".  Look closely at the many die-cuts she has here! 

Next is a beautiful card made by Brenda in blues & white with lots of layers.  

Oct Brenda SprucedUp Save

She used the Spruced Up bundle seen here for the trees with lots more product as well.  

Details:

  • Twigs & Springs embossing folder for the large White layer (seen in the annual catalog here)
  • She embossed her Vellum card stock with the Wintry 3D embossing folder
  • The DSP is the Storybook Gnomes seen here
  • That iridescent Snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes seen here; all cut & ready for you & a great value!

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free project sheet & video

    I featured the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle on a recent Live video.  Here's one of them: 

    Heartfelt Hexagon giftcard Save
    It's a fun fold card that also has a gift card holder inside. You can see the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle here in our online store.  It's a cute punch bundle with a nice variety of greetings & more. 

    HEARTFELT HEXAGON BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save
    Products used:

    • Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper
    • Merry Melody embossing folder
    • Deckled Rectangle dies

    Below is a photo of the inside. It might be hard to see the gift card pocket on the inside left.  Scroll down to the other photo of the inside.  Isn't this greeting wonderful?  It's my favorite one in the set:

    I made a second version on my video; but reversed the colors. I used Pool Party & Real Red.  Which do you prefer?  Watch the video here.

    You can see how the gift card is slipped into the inside left pocket, formed when you fold back the card stock on the left edge.  

    Measurements are included in the free project sheet seen above.

  • Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

    Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

    First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

    Oct Marla Ringed with Nature Save

    She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
    • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
    • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

    Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

    Oct Sending Cheer Sharon Save

    Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

    • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
    • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
    • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

    She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

    Oct Sharon Sending Cheer Save

    The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

    Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.

    Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

    She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns.  She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat!
