STUNNING Christmas card swaps full of glitz & shine!

This is the third batch of swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our November Glitz, Shine & Glimmer swap. 

First is a gorgeous card made by Roxann.  She thought of doing just an ornament but added it to a card front instead.

• More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

  September 13, 2023

  ---

  Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

  Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

  This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

  Save

  My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

  Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

  Save

  Measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
  • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

  Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

  Save

  This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

  The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

  Measurements:

  • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
  • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

  Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

• One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

  September 12, 2023

  On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.  

  Save

  These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold!  The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here.   You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

  I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off  this is the layout I use.

  Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements: 

  Measurements:

  • DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically.  From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
  • White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”

  Save

  
  

  I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings.  It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.
