Simply Sent Christmas

One of the promotions right now through Stampin' Up! is to buy two Simply Sent Kits (page 192/193 in the main catalog) and get a coordinating stamp set from those same pages FREE!  Since I am in the Christmas mode, setting up for a Holiday Stamp Camp, I decided to make the Simply Sent Kit Everyday Elegance into Christmas cards.  I think they turned out great!  And seriously, they were fast!  I'm talking making 8 cards in less than 30 minutes! Yeah, that fast.

Here they are!


A closer view of the Cherry Cobbler card--blinged out with Basic Rhinestones.  I just noticed my ornament is a little lopsided.  Ooops.  Just pretend it's perfect. :-)


And the Baja Breeze card softened with those wonderful Basic Pearls and some Velvet Ribbon.  I did not design this card.  It is a CASE of a wonderful demonstrator Sandi MacIver's card.  She is very inspirational for me!  I loved it so much I HAD to make one too!


If you'd like to make some of these cards for Christmas, and you do not already have a demonstrator, please visit my Online Stampin' Up site to place an order.  The link is on the right side bar. (The little computer mouse pushing a shopping cart.  Isn't that a great picture!)
