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.

• Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

  October 21, 2022

  ---

  I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card.  I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video.  See it here on my YouTube channel.  

  Save

   

  I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now. 

  Save

   

  Here's what the card looks like folded flat.  It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 
  

  Save

  I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items. 

  Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls.  I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

  For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.  

  Save

  Measurements: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
  • DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”

  Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here.  Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here. 

  The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.  

  Save

   

  Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

• Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders

  October 20, 2022

  ---

  I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video.  Look! 

  Save

  After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base.  So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting.  See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here. 

  Save

  The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.  A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.  

  Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though! 

  Save

  This one did take more time to trim….  I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

  What do you think?  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.  

  Save

   

  Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too.  All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.

• Cute ideas for Santa Express bonus cards; included in the Kit to Go

  October 19, 2022

  This month one of my kits to go features the Santa Express Memories & More cards seen here.  I sincerely enjoy playing with these cards & the many extra elements included in them.  

  Besides the 10 cards & envelopes they'll make with the kit and PDF tutorial I've created some bonus cards they can make as well.  Here's a peek at them: 

  Save

  There's no stamping on any of these; all greetings and layered pieces are from the kit itself.  

  Notice the cursive words and the stars?  These are wooden elements included in the kit!  I colored them with Blends markers.  They're actually nice and thin; maybe around 1/16" in height.  

  Here's a link to this kit to go. It's while supplies last; so opt in soon!
