Hey there! A few of my Stampin' Up! team of demonstrators, the Yes Mam! Stampers, gathered together last night for our monthly meeting. This month we had a Shoebox Swap, which means we each designed a card, cut enough supplies for everyone at the meeting to make it, and at the meeting everyone made each other's cards!
First, Cathy Lingle used the Sneak Peek bundle, Carols of Christmas for her card. There were actually two color combos for this card; the other one was Real Red and Garden Green. I love that little deer! I would probably never fuss with hand-cutting it out, but it's so easy with the die from the Card Front Builder Thinlets!
Next, Tina Biby used the Christmas Quilt set, Christmas Quilt 6×6" Designer Series Paper, Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon, and Stitched Felt Embellishments. Copper heat embossing really makes this card pop! The background trees are cut from the designer series paper.
Angela Black used the Quilted Christmas 6 x 6" Designer Series Paper stack with the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create a Christmas/birthday card featuring a Happy Birthday Gorgeous greeting punched with the new Everyday Label Punch!
Joanne Cantrell combined Silver heat-embossing with the Snowflake Sentiments set with the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets Dies for her easy card. We adhered the intricately beautiful Silver Foil border with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon tied in a bow.
Finally, Angie Lisk demonstrated for us the Shutter Card Fold, and then we made her swap with the same technique! Angie used the Painted Harvest set with Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper. I love fall color!
I've been dying to learn this fold! It's one of those "looks impressively hard but is actually really easy" techniques. You'll be seeing me use this one again!
