More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team


This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team. 

First up today is an adorable card made by Candy.  She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog. 

I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White.  It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background.  The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp. 

She added tons of layers and textures here!  From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments.  So much detail!! 

Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set.

Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen. 

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year.  They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell.

Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card.  Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla. 

There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!

  • Two Elegant cards by my Team


    Yesterday I shared two of my Flowerbug's Team swaps here and today I'm sharing two more.  They do a fabulous job on their swaps and I love seeing what they create!

    First is Tracey's card featuring the Friends are Like Seashells bundle.  The fact that the die has a coordinating embossing folder (seen here) makes these products AND projects uniquely special.  See it here. 

    Her colors are Pool Party & Very Vanilla.  She embossed both the Vanilla die-cut layer and the Pool party layer to reveal the embossed dots on the background.  Love this!

    Lori made this next card with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer paper seen here.  She colored the gold paper with Mint Macaron ink with Blending Brushes.  That extra pop of gold foil really brings it all together. 

    Her dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set seen here.  Beautifully elegant!

  • 2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper


    I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June.  Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now.  Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78.  See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here. 

    First is a card by Marilyn.  She made a corner latch card.  I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make.  Below are the measurements. 

    She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers.  She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog.  The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
      DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
      Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
      White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"

    Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.   

    She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting.  Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

  • Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon


    Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.  

    I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow.  I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video.  You can see it here.  Or scroll down to view it on my blog below. 

    I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS.  I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping.  It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

    Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

    And here is the video where I share two more cards; scroll down to the end to see this card made.
