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.

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 fourth 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.

Is it really true that there is no required threshold for purchases if you become a demonstrator? I tend to purchase episodically so a set amount per quarter doesn’t work for me.
Maxine, In order to stay active as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, you must have $300 in sales or purchases during each quarter. If you don’t meet that number, you will no longer stay active as a demonstrator and will no longer receive the discount. You are never required to meet that amount, though (no one will force you to spend the $300 per quarter – you will just lose status). Does that make sense? I’d love the opportunity to chat with you about this if you’d like – I have an amazing community of stampers who are supportive, creative and fun! 🙂
Such creativity, all the cards are beautifully done.
Oh these are beautiful!! I’m so smart I didn’t realize you were posting them thematically! Thanks for posting mine! Also, why don’t you live in Austin? 🙂 xx
It must be “Trees and Ornaments” today! I love yours by the way, so bright and colorful!
All very pretty cards! Lydia’s is a showstopper with all the bright colors and my favorite sentiment. 🙂
I do love these parades of cards! So fun to see what everyone comes up with — such creativity and talent.
Some great inspiration for my upcoming Stamp a Stack! (Yes, I should have it all planned by now, I”m close!)
A nice card and I love that you put Bella in the sleigh.
Oh what fun it is to ride for little Bella! What a riot – I am still smiling! I can’t believe there is another parade of beauties and we still have not gotten to the one I submitted or the one I received. I hope there is no end to these as I am gathering so many fantastic ideas with embelishments, colors, etc. Such a variety in creativeness. Definitely no “bah humbugs” in sight! Even the Grinch or Scrooge would try a smile at these!
Amazing talent across the country. I love that the gals from the south used the beach type stamps and the gals from the north the snowy type stamps. Cracked me up! LOL Everyone did a fantastic job with their cards and still, more to com? Oh what fun. Thanks Brian, looks like your mailman had his bag full for you!
I’ve seen that the stamparatus is available to be ordered. You haven’t mentioned it.
These pretty cards have me humming Christmas carols!
Received my card and it was made by Wendy (Florida). First, thank you for such a great card. My husband and I go to Key West every year (we leave in a month for a week vacation) so this card was a great match for me. Thanks Brian! My husband loved it so much he had me to order the stamp set for our Christmas Cards. Thanks Wendy and Happy Holidays to all.
The lovely card I received is in this group! Barbara Moody’s fun beach card in gold is really beautiful. It works out perfect for this northern-cold-weather gal too, as we are spending New Year’s in Florida! I giggled when I got it. It was like she knew our plans. Thanks Barbara, and thanks Brian for the swap.
Thanks, Robyn! You’ve put a big smile on my face! I’m so glad my card was apropos. How cool is that? Have a great time in Florida!
Wow, wow, wow, a spectacular grouping!
This is the first time I have participated in the swap and I received Becky’s
Card with the village. I love the color combo and was delighted when I opened the envelope. All have done a great job. Will do this next year.
Happy Holidays
Such pretty holiday cards! You know I like puppies so I was delighted to receive that adorable card with the pup in the sleigh!
Glad you enjoyed Bella taking the reigns!
Everyone who receives one of these will be delighted.
Another day of fabulous cards! I’m the lucky recipient of Robyn’s gorgeous card. So much texture and so many beautiful layers. I love it!!!
So glad that you enjoy the card. It was fun putting it together.
I love this collection of cards! Great job everyone! I’m feeling so inspired!
I am sorry that I do not get to comment every time you post groupings of cards but just want all participants to know that I think their cards are lovely. I hope I can join in next year.
Thanks Diana for your kind words. This was my first time participating in Brian’s swap. So much fun! I will definitely play along again.
Another parade if beauties! So much fun to see all th e different designs and layouts. Thanks for posting mine In this amazing group.
The card I received is in this group by Shirley Griffith! It’s so beautiful in person, I almost hate to give it away! Thanks for the lovely card, Shirley! They are all wonderful!
I almost didn’t recognize the card I received, from Laura Hughes, because in person it is much more sparkly than can be photographed. It’s truly beautiful, and perfectly crafted. It looks like that may have been today’s theme!
Lydia, Thanks so very much for your pretty card! I recently purchased the set and, low and behold, my swap from Brian is a card I’m just itching to use for Christmas! I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful cards and thank Brian for all his time and effort to bring this opportunity to all of us to participate.
Thank you Kathe for your kind words! Glad you liked my card! Happy Holidays!
Thanks Millie, I love my card.
