DAY SEVEN: Holiday One-for-One Swaps

day-sevenOver the past several weeks, my mailbox has been filled with amazing Holiday cards.  I’ve been gathering one-for-one Holiday swaps from people all over the U.S., and I’ve loved every one of them.  I’ve also been able to share each of them with you.  What a fun time for me!  This swap was filled with beautiful inspiration, and I know you’re going to love these projects.  I love these swaps because they showcase beautiful projects from card makers at ALL SKILL LEVELS – some are brand new to the craft, and others have been creating for years.

If you missed the previous Holiday One-for-One Swap posts, you can see those projects here:

Fancy Folds.  Today’s batch of cards are all being presented together as they represent fun fancy folds and card layouts.  All of these cards have fun layouts with 3-D elements that make each one of the cards special and fun!  Such creativity!  Here is the next batch of your beautiful cards:

  10. I love trying a different fold. It always adds an extra bit of fun. Super job ladies! Thanks Brian for the swap. The cards have been wonderful.

  11. I received my beautiful card about 10 days ago and waited to see it posted. Today was the day I saw my amazing card from Mary Jo Cox. I loved the fold you used and the colors. It is much cuter in person. Thanks Brian for having the card swap. It was my first time sending a card and it won’t be my last! Brian you are the King of cards!

  12. I was lucky enough to receive Cathi’s card. I love the 3 dimensional look to it. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing all these cards Brian. Lots of inspiration and ideas!

  13. Fancy fold card are so fun and these cards are no exception. Weren’t each of them a different fold? So many good ideas. Thanks Brian for featuring these.

  14. I received Sharon Rowland’s card, so stunning. Crisp and clean. Absolutely love the wink of stella on the trees. So nice and shimmery. Thank you Sharon!

  15. The lineup today was great. I received the card made by Lesa Mariian….what a delightful surprise to open it up and find gift tags inside. So well made…love all the cuts and layering. Thank you Lesa! I’m keeping the tags and sending the card with gift card pocket to a well deserving friend. Thank you for Sharing Brian!

  16. Oh what nice cards love folds on all of then. Want To give a special tks to Cheryl Alipio for my card love it. Thanks to all.

  17. Sharon Rowland’s card just blew me away. Clean and simple in design, but quite “fancy” in the fold – absolutely stunning!

  18. Oh what fun these are, I have not tried the fold like in the first card by Cathi – the reindeer seem to be great for this type of card! Some more to CASE. I never thought to put tags in pockets where a gift card would go, great idea. Thanks Brian for organizing this swap!

    • It was a fun card to make, Chris! Interesting story about the reindeer – my original plan was to use the sleigh with that set and fewer reindeer but the sleigh was too large.

  19. Amazin! These are so fun! A lot of work went into these. Great job!

  20. I received Rosemary Watkins’ beautiful card. I love how you added the leaves and the pretty charm. Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii!!!
