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!

Pretty Pumpkins with Be Dazzling specialty paper

August 24, 2021
After seeing other projects with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle I had to get it. I love the images and the font in the greetings.

Save

I stamped the large pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie ink and colored them and the leaves with Blends markers using both Pumpkin Pie & Olive markers plus light Crumb Cake for the stem & light Cajun Craze for the darkest areas on the pumpkins.

Save

I was playing around with the Be Dazzling specialty paper and decided to try to color it. I had a spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol & either Pumpkin Pie or Cajun Craze ink refill. So I spritzed it on to a piece of the glittery paper. It worked beautifully! I did have to let it sit for a few minutes to set well. Then I rubbed it with tissue to get any excess off before I die-cut the pretty filigree pumpkin with it.

I also spritzed my White twine to color it as well.

Other products:
- Ornate Layer & Potted Succulent dies
- Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
- Wink of Stella on the leaves

Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card

August 23, 2021
We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month. It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those? The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible! I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart!

Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card.

Save

The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green. We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink.

Save

***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first!

Details:
- Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
- Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars
- I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
- You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work
Save

I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep.

And below is the video; this card is so fun!
