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.

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!

  This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

  I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

  Here's how to make this pretty card. 

  1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
  2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
  3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
  4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
  5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
  6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
  7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

  Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

• Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

  February 27, 2020

  ---

  My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month.  Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month.  They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!  

  It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  Isn't it cute?  It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

  The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here.  Aren't they perfect?!!!

• Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

  February 26, 2020

  ---

  These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

  The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

  Save

  I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

  Save

  The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

  Save

  These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

  These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
