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!

Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

April 11, 2022
I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live. I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up! This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP. It's gorgeous! The photo below does NOT do it justice!

The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper. I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper. I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.

Isn't this a neat fun fold? And it's so easy too. Watch the video below or click here. It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here. Love these dies!

Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty? This beautiful card did that for me:

Save

I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

Here are the simple measurements:
- Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side
- DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
- White inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper? I love it! Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too!

See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.

Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS.

This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month. See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!
