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!

Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

July 10, 2023
I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background. I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

Save

It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
2. Paper Florist dies
3. Countryside Corners dies
4. Blending Brushes
5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
6. Embossing paste Matte finish
7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio
Whew! And I didn't even list the ink and paper! My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
- I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight.
- I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife. Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too. I let that dry for a few hours.
- Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here. I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot. They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

I LOVE how they turned out.

I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week. Stay tuned!
