Holiday Showcase - Part I

Hello Friends,

Welcome! Today and next Tuesday I'm sharing a variety of Holiday cards, all created by my talented team. With every new catalog I host a swap, and these are the gorgeous cards they created.

If you are in need of inspiration to begin working on your holiday cards, you'll find it here. I've listed the products used in this showcase at the end of the post. Enjoy!

Carolyn Abbey used the images from the Nature's Beauty stamp set to create this beautiful moonlit scene on a sponged background. The sentiment is from Still Scenes.

Ellen Bennett created a striking recessed panel card using the Beautiful Boughs Dies - so elegant in Silver, Gold & White!

Cindy Brown used the Nature's Beauty stamp set with the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. The deer is embossed with Shimmer White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Vellum Cardstock. The ribbon is Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon.

Beth Daniels used the So Many Stars Bundle with Delicata Metallic Golden Glitz Ink. Read more about her card on her blog -Fancyfloridastamper.blogspot.com.

Snow Front Scene

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing cards I stamped with Snow Front. I love sets like this with multiple images that can be arranged to create a lovely little scene!

Wrapped in Plaid Designer Paper is the perfect background. Each sheet has gold foil accents on one side. The flip side doesn't have foil, but is still beautiful, as on this card:

Each of my cards is accented with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter. Crafters and raccoons have one thing in common...we both like sparkly, glittery things. Raccoons have to forage for their shiny things, but all we crafters need to do is open up a Stampin' Up catalog!

Ink colors used on this card are Shaded Spruce (evergreens), Cherry Cobbler (birds), Early Espresso (trees & deer), Balmy Blue (pond), Gray Granite (cabin & snowman), and Sahara Sand (swish under the snowman).

The stitched rectangle shape is 3" x 4-3/8" and the mat behind it is 3-1/4" x 4-5/8". I stamped the scene on a slightly larger piece of Whisper White cardstock before cutting it with the stitched rectangle die.

The glitter is added at the end after the card is assembled. I used a Quickie glue pen purchased from Michael's Crafts for this step. Let the glue dry for a few minutes until it no longer looks wet before sprinkling on the glitter.

The greeting is from a separate stamp set called Itty Bitty Christmas. This set is a must-have for Christmas - it has 18 greetings for cards, tags & treats!

I had fun making this card. This is also the card I made for our team card swap. I used my Stamparatus to place each image, so making multiples was quick & easy! I have 4 plates (the Stamparatus comes with 2 and I purchased 2 more separately) and used both sides of the plates. The cabin is stamped first, then masked off before the rest of the images are added.
