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!

Under the Moon Dutch-door card with video & free project tutorial

June 3, 2024

I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's video. It features the Under The Moon stamp set which is what I refer to as a 'scene builder' set – one of my favorites to play with. It's super fun & easy to create with!

Save

See the two toned clouds & moon? I used sponge daubers and 'direct to ink' techniques for this. You can see how it's done in the video here or below.

Below is the view when the card is open.

When making a Dutch door fold you have a few choices on adding the front half. You can make your 'door' an inch or so wider than 5 1/2" so you can add the score line. Or make it 11" wide and score it at 5 1/2". Or the other option is to cut a full size card – 4 1/4" X 11", score it at 5 1/2" and cut off the section you do not want.

My card stock colors include: Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy and White. To these I also added these inks: Azure Afternoon (water & sky) & Peach Pie (moon) and Smoky Slate (clouds).

See the Under the Moon stamp set here. I also used the Unbounded Love bundle for the greetings & dies seen here. Remember that starting Wednesday all stamp & die bundles are an extra 10% off and will be 20% off through June.

Below is the video for this card tutorial and another. I hope you watch it to see how easy it is to create with this beautiful stamp set.

Basic Beige; a beautiful new neutral color in our line. Last day for the In Color deal!

May 31, 2024
Everyone is loving the new Basic Beige color Stampin' Up! added to our basics line this year.

I created this card for a recent online swap I joined. It features one of my recent favorite sets; Wildflower Designs.

Save

I paired it with Copper Clay and White here. We have four new products in Basic Beige – card stock, ink, ink refill and ribbon. It's a beautiful neutral!

There are coordinating dies to go with this pretty set too. See this bundle here:

Details on this card:
- The wood designer paper on the sides is from the Meandering Meadows 6" paper pack.
- The rectangle die-cut is from the Radiating Stitches dies which recently retired from our Online Exclusives.
- The background was made by stamping the little hashtag type stamp repeatedly in Basic Beige ink.

A Little Latte cards – all made from leftovers on my desk!

May 30, 2024

I decided to have a staycation this last weekend. I rarely take a day off at home; it seems like the only time I take an entire day off is if I leave town. I tried my hardest to stay out of my studio on Saturday. I lasted until 5 pm; then I couldn't resist playing a bit.

Save

I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups in a baggie and thought they'd make great thank you cards. So I pulled out my A Little Latte designer paper pack and some extra greeting tags and made these cards.

The designer paper pieces were either strips or squares so I arranged the fussy cut coffee cups over the largest pieces. I think they turned out great for cards made without a plan!

Save

The only thing I purposefully prepped were the card bases and White textured layers (So Swirly embossing folder seen here). The rest are all scraps!

Save

Do you ever play with what's on your desk and get creative?
