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! 

Oct Marla Ringed with Nature Save

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.

  • An easy fun fold card with a gift card option video & free project sheet too!

    I shared two fun fold cards on last week's Live video; both featuring the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set. 

    Year to Celebrate Dec 23 Save

    We made these striking, colorful cards at my December card clubs. The Year to Celebrate stamp set has lots of fun images and pairing it with the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil paper is a sure hit! 

    Both are on the Last Chance List and available while supplies last.  And they're discounted!!  *See the Year to Celebrate set here; it's now just $11.40 and was $19. 

    Year to Celebrate Dec Club Save

    Here's the inside of the New Year's card.  I added another textured strip of the foil paper and a piece of the Brights 6" DSP as well. Keep reading to get to the project sheet with measurements.

    Products used:

    • Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil paper seen here.
    • The greetings are from the Heartfelt Hexagon set seen here.
    • The cupcake image is from the Circle Celebration set.
    • Deckled Circle dies seen here 
    • Cheery Patterns embossing folder duo (discounted) seen here.

    Below is the inside of the birthday card; I adhered the inside left flap at the top and bottom only to leave a pocket for a gift card.

  • Year to Celebrate Explosion card with free project sheet & video

    I made this cute card during last week's Live video. It looks like a simple card front the front but there's a surprise inside!

    Year to Celebrate card Save

    I used the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set in the retiring 2023 Holiday catalog. This set is reduced from $19 to $11.40 while supplies last.  See it online here. 

    YEAR TO CELEBRATE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    It's great for a celebratory card like birthday's, promotions, achievements and New Years.  

    Here's the view of the inside: 

    Year to Celebrate explosion inside Save
    It's an explosion card that you can add some annoying sprinkles and punched pieces in. That's the biggest surprise!  

    It also features the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil that's on the Last chance list and has a reduced price.  See it here.

  • How to use leftover pieces to create projects

    I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right?  I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy. 

    I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project. 

    Sending Cheer xmas Save

    It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here.  Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40. 

    I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

    Sending Cheer extrax Save

    The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now.  Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!  

    Here's a different card layout using similar pieces: 

    Sending Cheer extra Save

    I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here. 

    Sending Cheer extras Save

    Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.
