Today’s the day! Over the past several weeks, I’ve been running to my mail box to collect the GORGEOUS cards you’ve sent for my 2022 Holiday One-for-One Card Swap. Today I have the pleasure of sharing some of them with you. Yay! In a series of several posts over the next couple of weeks, I will share each of these beautiful cards with everyone. There’s so much wonderful inspiration to share!
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.
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 first 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. If you like these projects and want to see all of the other cards in this Holiday One-for-One Cards Swap, I’ll be posting more in the coming days. ♥
Thanks for stopping by today!

Clearance Rack Refreshed Last Week
When Stampin’ Up! adds brand new (but retired) products to the Clearance Rack, you should run (not walk) to the Clearance Rack to take advantage of the amazing savings – some products are marked up to 60% off. Don’t miss out on these amazing products – once they are gone, they are gone.
As with all other catalogs, I’ll be making Designer Series Paper Swatch Books and hosting Product Shares from the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. I’ve already started to sort the shares but won’t finalize the offering until next week. If you’d like to be on my email list when the shares are announced, please email me to let me know!
Placing an order today? Of course you are! If you are placing an order for $150 or more, I want you to enjoy all of the Host Rewards you have earned. If your order is less than $150, I’d love for you please add this Host Code – PCNHWXKC – when prompted. Thank you!
Hi Brian, Although I was unable to join this swap, I was looking forward to all the cards that were sent to you. Today’s selection is beautiful. I know this is a lot of work, but a fun one for sure.
Have a blessed day.
What great ideas and inspirations ! It would be hard to pick a favorite !
Such fun seeing all of them .
Oh my goodness- I bet you’ve had so much fun seeing all of these arrive! It is wonderful to see so many creative ideas! Love these all!
Oh my! They are all wonderful! Such creative ideas even looking forward to next year’s batch of cards. I make cards for a nursing home and these cards (and I’m sure the ones yet to come) offer me some new and creative ideas!
What an inspiring selection of designs!
Thanks to all the artists for sharing their creativity, and to you, Brian, for the massive undertaking of organizing and curating the swap. It’s definitely a highlight of the season!
Oh Brian, what a set of beauties. Each one is unique with color combinations and stamps. I love all of them but my favorite would have to be Pam’s. Thanks for sharing.
