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.

• Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

  December 16, 2020

  ---

  I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live.  You can see the video below but here are the projects:

  Save

  I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS.  This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off!  See it here.

  This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it.  I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above.  Measurements below: 

  Save

  
  

  Easy Christmas card

  • Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
  • CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”

  Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn.  She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last!  See them here. 

  Save

  Celebration Labels Treat box

  • Use the largest 2 dies.  Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
  • Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge

  Save

  Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat.  I love making these since they're so quick & easy. 

  Save

  Santa Pull Up Treat

  Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

  Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

  This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it.  Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other.  That one is a lot quicker. 

  Save

  Lastly is a sweet snowman tag. 

  Save

  
  

  It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top.  I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies.  I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile. 

  Below you can get the tips on putting these projects together.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

  I thought I'd share a few Christmas cards I've received lately. 

  Jean sent me this pretty Christmas card using the Sweetest Time bundle seen here. 

  Save

  The Sweetest Border dies are so neat!  I love how you get a solid edge but the detailed candy canes all in one.  

  Save

  She used Real Red with Pear Pizzazz here along with the Wonderful Gems.  

  Here's another card shared by Stampin' Up!

  And look at these projects!  They're showcased with the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

  I just received mine and I LOVE IT!  It's adorable, small and lightweight.  It's the perfect size for both travel and to fit right on my workspace.  It's available to demonstrators this month but will be released to everyone on January 5th!  It's just $60 and you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice when you purchase it in January. 

  If you're in a hurry to get yours, you can add it to your Starter kit in December and join as a Demonstrator.  What a great gift to yourself!  Join the Stampin' Up! family and enjoy the fun and perks of being part of something awesome! Go here to join my Flowerbug's Team.
