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. 

Save

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. 

Save

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

Save

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!

• Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s

  June 21, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

  First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

  Save

  Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

  Save

  Here are her measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
  • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

  Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

  I shared two pretty cards featuring the Gallery Blooms bundle on last week's video.  The first was shared here.  And this is the second one:

  Save

  Both featured the bundle and two main colors – Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia.  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials set seen here.  I'm so glad it didn't retire!

  There's also a third card (top left) that I'll share tomorrow.

  I stamped the flowers on the Fresh Freesia layer to create a background pattern and used the same for the inside of the card. The two sets of flowers are stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the coordinating dies. 

  Save
