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!

CUTE Pillowbox ‘treat box’ you’ll love!

September 21, 2022
I made this cute box using the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Does it look like a pumpkin to you?

Save

It does use the Pretty Pillow box dies for the flat shape of the front of this box, but the box itself is made from a piece of card stock (see measurements below). I found this idea from fellow demonstrator Lynda Emerson. As usual I changed it up a bit from hers.

Products used:

Crumb Cake card stock, He’s the Man DSP, strips of Mossy Meadow for apple die trim & for the leaves die-cuts, Pretty Pillow Box dies seen here, Stylish Shapes (for the circle die-cut), Penned Flower & Apple Blossom dies, Stripes & Spatters EF, Linen Thread for the bow, Simply Scored Scoring tool

The inside of the box would hold quite a few treats; it's a good size!

Save

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5 ¼” X 7 ¼” scored at 2" on all 4 sides, plus two die-cut pillow box pieces
- He’s the Man DSP 2 ¼” X 4 ½”
Here is what the Pretty Pillow box dies look like:

Here are all of the projects I made. The other two cards feature the Hello Harvest bundle.

Use the stamp in a new way on this card! Hello Harvest projects

September 20, 2022
Here's a pretty card I shared on last week's FB live video; it features the Hello Harvest bundle.

Save

I cased the idea from my friend Dawn Olchefske; changing it up a bit. The main floral image is stamped twice (once upside down) and the greeting covers where they meet. You can see this image in the stamp set below.

It might look like there's an entire strip of designer paper under the main card layers. But it's just a few small pieces of the Rustic Harvest DSP at the top & bottom of the Vanilla card. Check out the Hello Harvest bundle here.

Save

I colored the floral image in with Blends markers in Daffodil, Fresh Freesia, Light Old Olive and Calypso Coral. I also added a bit of color to the pretty greeting banner.

Measurements are:
- Vanilla 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 3 ½” X 4 ½” & scrap for greeting
- Espresso 3 5/8” X 4 5/8”
- DSP is 1” X 2 ¼”

Unique Hello Harvest Fun Fold card with measurements!

September 19, 2022
I played with the Hello Harvest bundle on last week's FB Live video and this is one of the cards I made.

Save

It's a unique fun fold that's quite easy. It's inspired by my friend Susie Wood. Check out her blog here; she does tons of fun fold cards! I know you'll want to try this one!

I made the first card with a Soft Suede card base and then second guessed myself and made the second one in Pumpkin Pie. Which do you prefer?

Save

Almost everything else is the same except the layers around the pumpkins & DSP layers.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base; 4” X 11” scored at 2” X 3 ¾” from each end, & 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 3 ¼”, inside is 3 1/8” X 3 ¾” plus Stylish Shapes greeting die-cut
- Gingham Cottage DSP 3 ¼” X 3” & 2 strips at 1" X 4", Green or pumpkin panel is 3 5/8” X 3 3/8”
