Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!


Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps.  These two cards are not your average Christmas cards! 

First is a pretty card made by Marla.  She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works! 

She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog. 

Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
  • DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
  • White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men?  Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half.  She added so much detail on them too! 

  • The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
  • The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
  • Ears are from the monkey punch. 

She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies.  A great idea!  

The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive). 

Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards.  Details on each if you go back each day this week.

  • Easy Holiday cards made from tags! Free project sheet & video tutorial.


    I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin boxes each month. November’s Wrapped in Cheer kit featured holiday tags and I couldn’t waste an opportunity to make cards from them. I need a lot more Christmas cards than I do tags!

    I didn’t change the tag from the original except for the linen thread bow at the top. But I did add it to a Basic Beige textured layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
    Now that is an easy card!

    To create the colored leaves inside the card I used the empty piece of paper from the kit where the leaves had been removed. I’m always looking for easy ways to add to the inside of my cards.

    There were two different tags in this kit. Aren’t they pretty?

    I used the embossing folder called Traditional Wreath 3D folder; it can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and more information on Paper Pumpkin.

    *You’ll receive a PDF with multiple projects featuring this product
    after the 20th of the month.

  • Wrapped in Cheer tags for Christmas


    I shared the November Paper Pumpkin kit on last week’s live video. I just love receiving my crafty box in the mail each month! Easy crafting without a plan or step it up and use your creativity to change the projects.

    There were two different tags in this kit and each one includes multiple pieces. Aren’t they pretty? The embossing folder is called Traditional Wreath 3D folder and can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    I used the tags to make Christmas cards which you can see below. All I did was add a textured layer and a card base. *I’ll share more details tomorrow.

    Remember that each month my subscribers and Team receive my bonus projects PDF. Lots of unique ideas to create with the contents of each box. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here.

    Below is the video where I share this kit, last months and how to make the cards too.
