More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!

October 16, 2025

Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!

How to make the embossing folder the star of your card; with video!

May 18, 2026

I shared a few ways to highlight the texture on your 3D embossing folders on last week’s video. I shared the cards I created with the 5 new In Colors and how it’s done.

Save

This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently out of stock unfortunately. Please put your name on the list to be notified when it’s back.

Steps: I textured the CS first. Then rubbed my Craft White ink pad over it lightly. It catches on all the pretty raised areas, highlighting them beautifully. This can take some practice and I recommend you ink pad not be fully inked.

I wrapped matching In Color ribbons across the cards and added a greeting. So simple but stunning in person.

Save

The greeting die-cuts are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here. The greetings are from the Opulent Oasis & Balloon Festoon stamp sets.

Save

Of course this technique; I’m calling it ‘white-washing’ shows up best on darker card stock. Here’s one I did with the Fern & Flora embossing folder seen here:

Save

This is our new Peaceful Pine in color. The greeting tag is from the new Classic Labels Mix & Match ephemera seen here. Love these pretty White labels!

Below is the video tutorial with tips for success on this technique.

Beautiful Scenic Coast swap card

May 14, 2026

Look at this beautiful Scenic Coast swap card made by Darla. Our Team swap theme was to use new product from the 2026 May-August catalog.

Save

She used multiple new products here. First is the Scenic Coast DSP seen here and the Sunset Coast bundle here for the main image. I love how she added yellow to the lighthouse and green to the hills. They are small itty pieces inserted in the die-cut windows. Wow!

The background is Crisp Cantaloupe textured with the So Swirly embossing folder. The White ‘Thank You’ die-cuts are from the Words & Wishes dies seen here.

Just plain stunning! And she is a very new swapper on my Team too! You did a wonderful job Darla!
