Modern Christmas card idea

October 15, 2025

Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

August 27, 2024

On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination:

Save

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP. It's on sale for a few more days! See it here.

The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4"

Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card.

Save

Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.

The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here. The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for this DSP and the Citrus Blooms dies.

A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

August 26, 2024

This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

Save

It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8".

How did I get that square to pop up on the end? Watch the video to see! But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end.

Save

I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here. The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

Here's the inside view:

Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

August 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store.

Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

Save

Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully.

Click on the photo below to see it in the store. Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

Save

Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle.

Save

Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold.

Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it.

Here's a list of the products she used:
- So Swirly embossing folder
- Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here
- Exposed Brick embossing folder
- Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime
And look how the cauldron opens!!

Save

She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening. So cool!!

I'll share more Team swaps next week.
