Modern Christmas card idea

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.

Save

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!

• Holiday Catalog sneak peak video; the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks for gorgeous sunflowers!

  August 17, 2023

  Look at these beautiful sunflowers!

  Can you tell that they're not stamped? I used a brand new set of decorative masks called Abundant Beauty, from the upcoming 2023 Holiday mini catalog.  It's a set of 7 masks including 4 for the sunflowers, snowflakes, houndstooth and falling leaves.

  I used sponge daubers and the following colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Pecan Pie.

  After I added the images I textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Then added a bit more Crushed Curry ink around the edges. 

  I shared how to make this card step-by-step in the video seen here.   

  The greeting is from a brand new FABULOUS greeting set called So Sincere (from the upcoming Holiday catalog).  It's incredible; you're all going to want it.  It's on a die-cut from a new Autumn Leaves die set.  I added a bit of the Natural Wavy trim to the bottom of the greeting piece.

• Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!

  August 16, 2023

  ---

  I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago.  I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here.  It's all Pretty Peacock and white! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink. 

  After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds. 

  Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.

  This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings.

• Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial

  August 15, 2023

  ---

  I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

  I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

  Supplies:

  • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
  • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
  • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
  • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
  • Gorgeous Garden dies
  • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
  • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
  • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
  • Blending Brushes

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Double-decker card measurements:

  • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
  • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
  • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
  • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

  Here are both cards shown in the video below.
