Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

Oct Candy Country Wreath

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

Details:

  • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
  • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
  • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle.

A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.

Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow.  She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.  

Here's her inside view:

  • A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

    I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

    I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

    This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

    Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

    I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

    Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

    It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

  • An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

    Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

    I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
    My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

    There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

    What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

    I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

    I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!
