A Backlog of Card Samples!

Here are samples of cards and other small projects created with Holiday Mini 2011 stamps and products. Most (if not all) items were swapped during another downline meeting.

Fall/Winter 2010 Downline Meeting

These photos were taken at Sandy Hancock's Downline Meeting late September. There are some good ideas for holiday cards, decorations, favors and more. As with each meeting, there is a card swap and contest.

You Take the Cake!

What makes the Party Hearty Stamp Set lovable? You get cupcakes, candles, a present, images that can easily be punched out and great sentiments. For this card, I decided to add a surprise inside created with the Three Tier Cake Pop -Up Bigz Die! This cheerful birthday card uses a combination of pumpkin pie, daffodil delight and old olive. The cake tiers have Greenhouse Gala designer series paper.

2-Step Bird Punch Wedding Card

This wedding card was accented with punch outs from the 2-Step Bird Punch. It features a light blue belly band, which you slide off. Inside is a pocket to hold cash, a gift certificate or gift card. It fits in a #10 (office size) envelope.

Candy Wrapper Bigz Die Treats

If you have ever wanted quick, neat treats to place in a basket as party favors, set at each table setting or to give as Halloween gifts, the Candy Wrapper Bigz Die works like a charm! It is one of the newest Big Shot dies available exclusively through Stampin' Up! It cuts AND scores at the same time, so all you have to do is fold, glue and decorate as you wish. Check out my promotions if you would like to learn more in a Big Shot Class or a Holiday Card Class. I also have a Special for Fall/Winter 2010.

The two samples above were created with the Bells & Boughs stamp set, Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper and Designer Fabric, Decorative Label Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Early Espresso classic ink, Watercolor Wonder crayons, Sahara Sand, River Rock, Whisper White and Crumb Cake Cardstock.
