DAY ONE: 2025 Holiday One-for-One Card Swap: Barbara Stitt

Today’s the day! For several weeks in November, I ran to my mailbox each day to collect the GORGEOUS cards you sent for the Holiday One-for-One Card Swap I hosted. 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.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing every one of these wonderful cards in a series of posts. There’s so much inspiration ahead! Today, I have the pleasure of spotlighting one of the projects. Yay!

2025 Holiday One-for-One Card Swap, Hosted by Brian King

Several swap participants send a little card or sweet note for me – I prefer cash, but I’ll absolutely take a kind message. When Barbara Stitt mailed in her swap card, she sent one for me and one for the swap. I didn’t purchase the Gingerbread Man Bundle this season, so it was especially fun to receive projects made with it (and even more fun to keep one for myself). I’m thrilled to share her cards today since the stamp set and dies she used are discounted right now in the Last Chance Sale. 🙂

Here’s a look at both cards Barbara sent:

I’m certain Barbara carefully adjusted the hats to ensure they’d fit inside the envelope. In addition to the elements in the bundle, she added Real Red & White Adhesive-backed Peppermints – adorable!

I kept the gingerbread man with the red hat. Here’s the swap card Barbara sent in for the Holiday One-for-One Card Swap:

Since both the stamp set and dies are currently marked down by 10% in the Last Chance Sale, you’ll pay the same whether you buy them separately or as a bundle. It’s such a cute little duo, don’t you think?

What do you think? Aren’t Barbara’s gingerbread men adorable?! The Holiday One-for-One Card Swap is always such a joyful way to celebrate the creativity in our community, and Barbara’s gingerbread man cards are a perfect example of that magic.

More to Come!

With discounted Last Chance products and so many fun designs to share, I can’t wait to show you more. I’ll be sharing so many inspiring and wonderful projects from the swap in the coming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Brian

  1. Wow, these cards are totally adorbs! Love the wink and the peppermint buttons, too. Well done, Barbara!

  2. I was taken by surprise to see my name in bold print! These cards are so
    Much fun to make! A friend came yesterday and put together six for her
    Great grandchildren. She had so much fun! Each one has it’s own
    Personality depending on which components are used. Wouldn’t these be
    Cute also for Valentine’s Day with some tiny heart buttons?! Grab these quick before they are gone! Thank you Brian for the honor of featuring my
    Cards.

  3. Oh Barbara, these are absolutely adorable! I just love the peppermint buttons…so clever! These cards certainly deserved their own showcase!!!!

  5. Hi Brian

    Barbara both your cards are adorable and so skillfully designed! What’s especially fun are all the accessories that go with this bundle. Even though I bought this bundle I was sad to see that SU decided to retire it!

  8. Those jaunty hats and peppermint buttons make those little guys sing! Nice job, Barbara!

  9. These gingerbread guys are such smile makers! I love that set and, Barbara, you knocked it out of the park with your cuties. I haven’t had time to try out this set but you’ve inspired me to make the time. So darn cute!! Well done!
