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!

Colorful swap cards with Pattern Party hostess paper

July 20, 2021

This weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap and the theme was to make cards with yellow. It could be a lot, or just a little. We thought it was a great 'summertime theme'. I'm so proud of their cards; they are all quite talented!

This first card was made by Barb. She used the Back on Your Feet stamp set, the Basic Border & Meadow dies.

I just love how she colored the giraffe the same colors as her designer paper! What a well coordinated card! I believe she used our amazing Blends markers for coloring. And look at her inside! She used the extra die-cut edges to decorate the inside to match!

Next is Mary's card featuring the same Pattern Party designer paper. You can only get this paper with hostess rewards. You can see it on page171 of the annual catalog; or click here.

She used the Tailor Made Tags and the Biggest Wish stamp set. She also colored her clear rhinestones with a Blends marker before adding them to the tag.

I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!

This set is adorable! And it has such fun greetings to go with the tandem bicycle as well. Click here to see it.

Details:
- I used the 'ground' image to create grass by stamping it numerous times.
- I used the Basic Border dies seen here to sponge the clouds. Get my tips on this in the video below or click here.
- I used a mask to add the puppy in the basket.
- The greeting die-cut is from the Messages die.
- I used Stampin' Blends to color in the images.
- I added a Metallic pearl to the spokes in the bicycle.
- The sun is simply sponged in the corner with Daffodil Delight ink.

As you can see it's an easy fun fold card. Simply add one extra score line to your normal A2 card. Score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Crushed Curry card at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". The Basic Gray is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the White is 3 3/4" X 5".

I added grass and flowers to the inside to pull it all together.

Pinwheel Tower fun fold cards are easy but a sure WOW!

July 16, 2021

I shared this super fun card on Tuesday's FB Live video. The video is shown below. Or click here to watch on my FB page. Don't forget to follow me so you are notified when I go live.

I used the Sweet Symmetry designer paper and the In Symmetry stamp set. Colors are Night of Navy, Just Jade, Calypso Coral, Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo. I also used Holiday rhinestones for the bling.

This has to be one of the easiest fun fold cards I've made that's also totally unique. And it uses an exact 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock. On each panel you can add a perfect layer (2 1/2" X 4") or have fun adding various pieces of CS or DSP and greetings or stamped images.

Here are the measurements for you:
