After collecting a batch of beautiful Holiday One-for-One swap card over the past month, I am excited to share them with you. This swap is filled with beautiful inspiration, and I know you’re going to love these projects. In a series of several posts over the next two weeks, I will share these cards with everyone.
I love these swaps because they showcase beautiful projects from cardmakers at ALL SKILL LEVELS – some are brand new to the craft, and others have been creating for years. Please look them over, admire their beauty and then let the creators know how beautiful their cards are (I already know you’ll be kind with your comments, but I am going to request it, anyway).
If you participated in the swap and don’t see the card you received here, please wait to comment about that card when it shows up on my blog – that way, the creator of that card will be sure to see your comments.
If you missed the other posts from the Holiday One-for-One Swap posts, you can see those projects here:
The collection of cards I’m sharing today might not all have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives great ideas for color combinations, layouts, techniques – every project is sure to inspire you. Without any further ado, here is the third batch of your beautiful cards:
What do you think? Aren’t those awesome?! Please leave a comment below to let these artists know how much you love their heartfelt creations.

WOO HOO!! Finally!!! The card I received is here, it’s the one by Candace Ramey from West Virginia.
Thank you Candace for your beautiful card, I totally love the way you created the three frames with the silver foil paper around the lovely Christmas Tree, and the snow on it looks fabulous.

Oh Maria, aren’t you the lucky one! I LOVE that card! So soft, beautiful, and serene! I am kicking myself that I didn’t participate this time!
Your card is so cute, Maria! I love the adorable pets!
Thank you Jeanie for your sweet words, hope you participate next time. I’ve done it since Brian started the Holiday Card Swap back in 2011 and each time is just awesome.
Big Hugs,

Maria I also love the card you received from Candace. Now that makes me think of Christmas.
Yes Leah, it’s more beautiful in person and it totally puts you in a Christmas Tree mood.

Jackie Wilcox, you knocked my socks off!
Thank you for your gorgeous card. By coincidence, it arrived at my home in Wisconsin, during our first snowfall of the season!
I’ve been gone since 11/3. Can’t wait to get home and check out my mail!
Hey . . . Cheryl Baker . . . I am the lucky recipient of your lovely card. I never thought to use the flower thinlit with DSP. It looks great and I love how you tied in the two strips on either side. I will definitely remember this the next time I take out that thinlit!
🙂
WOW! Awesome cards! Such inspiration and talent! Thanks for sharing!
Christi Wroe, love your card. Are the snowmen a stamp or dsp?
Hello Susan!! They are neither my own original design !! I made a full page watercolor then had it sized and printed at office Max.. They are part of a series “The Snowmen of Bedford” where I am from.. Bedford, Pa. Thank you so much!! Have a wonderful holiday !!
So many great ideas on display today ! What a delight to find one of these in your mailbox !!
I must shout out to my friend Maria on her adorable card ! CUTE ! CUTE ! CUTE !! That card would bring a big smile to your face as you opened it !! Love it !!

Every single one of these cards would be a joy to receive.
The amount of creativity in ALL the people that participated is just so inspiring. Thanks Brian for showing what an amazingly talented group of people are out there and willing to share their talents. Hope you are enjoying SLC!
Another amazing group of lovely cards. So many clever ideas. Love the coloring on Christi and Maria’s. A touch of sparkle with silver and gold is a perfect accent for holiday cards. Can’t wait to see the card I received in the parade.
Thank you Robyn, this cute images are super fun to color. The card I received is more beautiful in person.
Hugs,
Maria.
Thank yo Maria!! All of the cards are simply gorgeous I was s oexcited to be a part Happy Christmas!!

Another parade of wonderful creations! It is so fun to see what everyone created. Certainly no card is alike even if they use the same stamps etc. I just love these swaps. Well done everyone. Another day to anticipate the wonderful card I received and the one I made for someone! How many cards were sent in Brian?
What a treat! Another day of creativity, inspiration and beautiful cards! Thanks so much for all the time and effort that each of today’s card makers devoted to this card exchange — and special thanks to Brian for organizing, mailing, and sharing all of these special cards with the rest of us!
Such gorgeous cards! Love all the great ideas!
Darling, delightful and dreamy ideas!
YAY! The card I received is here! It’s from Marina, in Illinois. How perfect because I’m from Chicago, IL and I live in AZ now. I ADORE your card Marina. This is one of my favorite bundles, and I love every detail on your card. I especially love the non-tradtional colors, too. And that embossed envelope flap? Love it. All the cards are so pretty, Brian. Thank you to everyone…a beautiful parade of beauties for sure!
Please excuse the typo. I mean Marines, not Marina. I’m so sorry. 🙁
So much wintery goodness! Love all of the snowflakes and snow scenes!
Every single card is such a delight and wonderful. Waiting to see the swap I received so I can the crafter their recognition they deserve.
Shout to Maria my friend and swap buddy, she is a master a coloring and shading. She never disappoints.
This is another beautiful batch of cards! Every one is so unique and gives such great ideas! I am feeling so inspired! Brian I love how you group them by theme, today must be “snow”. We’ve already had a few flakes up here, so this is perfect timing!
Sorry I’m late to the party! I was the lucky recipient of Carolyn’s gorgeous bell card!! Thank you!
They are all wonderful cards! What a talented group!
Thank you Michelle. I had fun making it.
These make me wish I had more of everything. =)
Thank you so much Sue Campbell, I arrived home from vacation today and your beautiful card was waiting for me. It’s even prettier in real life!
