It’s Beginning to Taste Like Christmas – A Sweet Swing Fold Card

Okay, let’s be real, Christmas crafting is basically the adult version of baking cookies for Santa. There’s glitter instead of flour, adhesive instead of frosting, and zero chance of burning anything in the oven. This Homemade Treats Bundle card is serving up all those sugary-sweet vibes with a fun interactive twist!

We went bold and bright with Blushing Bride and Real Red for a look that’s totally festive but also a little modern and unexpected. It’s giving peppermint frosting and candy cane dreams, all wrapped up in one adorable handmade card.

The design features a swing fold. That’s right, this baby opens in layers like a little surprise! The embossed front panel (hello, texture!) gives it just enough dimension, while the inside is ready for your handwritten holiday note or even a cute stamped message.

Project Details & Inspiration

Two red frosting bags take center stage, tied up with candy-striped baker’s twine because we’re extra like that. The sentiment, “It’s beginning to taste like Christmas,” is stamped in Real Red ink and framed by candy canes, peppermint dots, and a couple of tiny gingerbread buddies. It’s sweet, it’s cheerful, and it’s guaranteed to make someone smile.

Whether you’re pairing it with a cookie tin, attaching it to a gift bag, or sending it in the mail, this card screams “homemade with love” (and maybe a sprinkle of sugar).
