One of the nice things about Stampin' Up! is the people you meet as a demonstrator. I belong to a group of demonstrators here in the Reno area. A few of us are orphans, meaning our uplines are gone. To support each other, we get together and play and talk shop. We got together a week ago and made Christmas cards. Below are some of the cards others brought to.
The first card is designed by Lynnette Parker. Her stuff is always wonderful.
Next is a card provided by Mary Cargill. I didn't finish it while there, so mine looks a bit different than hers. I just love the sparkle of the card. The trees are stamped in wild wasabi craft and then embossed with irridescent ice embossing powder. Really pretty IRL.
And finally is a card from a newbie to our group, Nancy Stafford. This card is too cute. Easy to put together as well--a huge bonus for Christmas cards if you're going to make a lot! The card is basically punches punched, cut and arranged into Santa's jolly face. Makes me laugh that just by placing the eyes a wee bit differntly, you can gve Santa lots of expressions! I was going for a jolly expression, but he actually looks a little baffled to me. Ah well, that more clearly reflects me! lol
