I’m so excited to share another batch of beautiful cards from my 2018 Holiday One-for-One Card Swap. Over the past month, I’ve been running to my mail box to collect the GORGEOUS cards for my swap. In a series of several posts over the next week, I will share each of these beautiful cards with everyone. There’s so much wonderful inspiration to share!
Like Day Five’s swaps, today’s projects all feature fancy folds! I can’t begin to tell you how to make many of these, but I’m sure you are curious enough to find out. 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. 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.

I love these creative cards using different fun folds. I’m loving this swap from all over the country. Enjoy your day!
I just love all of the cards this year in our swaps they are all beautiful.
Love your holiday swap parades Brian…so much talent and creativity!
Oh what fun! It is no denying, I love fun fancy folds. I will be CASEing as I am woefully behind on cards with both my dog’s surgery as well as my husband’s. Nothing like a good parade of swap cards to perk me up. Thanks once again Brian. Happy holidays everyone.
I was so lucky to receive Diane Baxter’s darling card. I actually squealed when I opened it! So cute. Thanks!
WOW! and again WOW! Fancy fold cards amaze me and this collection is so fabulous. I love seeing where the card makers come from also. See Brian, you are famous all over the country and in fact, all over the world. To the cardmakers – thank you for sharing your fantastic talents.
I am the lucky recipient of Liz Stillman’s fun-filled card — from the cute little elves inside and out to the candy cane DSP to the double Z-fold design, it is bursting with holiday cheer! Thanks so much, Liz — I can’t wait to try this special fold on my next project! ? Thanks, Brian, for hosting this and for all the time and effort you invested in making it possible for us to enjoy the creativity and talents of others!
So glad you like the card Paulette! It is a lot easier to make than it looks. Have fun with it!
I Love that fold, can you send me instructions?
Here is a link to the original card that I used. It is from Georgia Giguere.
