Wanna see some gorgeous Christmas cards? My Stamp Sorority Team of demonstrators swapped these beauties with me last week. It's always so hard to pick a favorite! But, if you remember, we have a swap contest each month and we HAVE to vote on a favorite (not an easy task).
Here is this month's favorite - created by Shelly. She used LOTS of heat embossing and handcut the gorgeous Pointsettia from the Joyful Christmas stamp set.
This next card was created by Darlene. Recognize that stamp? It's from the Warmth & Wonder hostess set from the Holiday Catalog. Darlene colored the stamp each time with her Stampin' Write markers! WOW! I love the color scheme.
How fun is Jane's card below? She used an EXTREMELY popular Photopolymer stamp set - Everyday Wishes - for her sentiment. This stamp set was SO popular, it flew off the shelves in 2 weeks! But, don't worry - more are coming in. Jane learned this technique in the monthly Stampin' Success magazine that demonstrators receive. It turned out great!
Jennifer couldn't make our meeting on Tuesday, but her swaps did! I never would have thought to use the Chalk Talk framelits with that sentiment from Christmas Messages - but it totally works! We missed you, Jennifer!
Deanna took advantage of nap time to make swaps! She LOVES punch art and I love her use of punches on this card! Such a great, reproducible card for Christmas this year....hmmm....
I think this card was created by Patty Jo. It's not signed, but I remember her saying she made swaps. I know some of you absolutely love this little reindeer. I still haven't used him on any projects this year - maybe I'll have to change that in the near future. She also used the Oval Framelits which are on sale through Monday!
And last but certainly not least is Lynn's swap. I immediately loved this one because of her creative use of the Festive Flurry Stamps and framelits. Who knew those snowflakes could double as a wreath?!? She also did a TON of paper piercing around that wreath.
Yes, that was my reindeer! I made them up so early that I totally forgot to do the recipe on the back as well as sign them. OOPS!
