October Group Meeting Swaps


Here's a peak at the gorgeous cards each of the gals that attended our Group Meeting last month made for their monthly swaps....

It's so much fun to see the creativity these women have - and, it's so fun to hear them share about their creations at the meeting :)

It's one of my favorite parts of the night!

Sending You a Flurry of Warm Christmas Wishes


This card was so much fun to make at our Group Meeting earlier this fall......

I think everyone that attended the meeting enjoyed it as much as I did!




We start our card with an Island Indigo card base, then added a strip of the diagonal striped pattern from the Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  I love how the Island Indigo color peaks out from behind the vellum stripes!




Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum  133364  $11.00




Next, we embossed our snowflakes and sentiment (all found in the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set) with Silver Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink and the Heat Tool.


We also flagged the end of our sentiment banner using the ever-versatile Banner Triple Punch.

Here's a quick video on Heat Embossing in case you've forgotten how to do it:





Flurry of Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set  139732  $21.00




Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder  109131  $5.00




Versamark Ink  102283  $7.50




Heat Tool  129053  $30.00




Banner Triple Punch  138292  $23.00



We punched our snowflakes using the Snow Flurry and Flower Medallion Punches.  The Snow Flurry Punch is bundled together with the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set for a 15% savings on both items.




Snow Flurry Punch  139680  $18.00




Flower Medallion Punch  137417  $18.00



Flurry of Wishes Bundle  140868  $33.00



Before we added our largest snowflake to the card, we "swirled" some Silver Metallic Thread behind the snowflake so that it just peaks out from behind it.

We also added a few Rhinestones and punched a couple of small stars from Silver Foil Paper using the star punch found in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack.




Silver Metallic Thread  138402  $4.00




Rhinestone Basic Jewels  119246  $5.00




Silver Foil Sheets  132718  $4.00




Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack  133787  $17.00



I hope you enjoyed this card!!

Thanks so much to Nina Janssen for her inspiration on this card.

Lighthearted Leaves... Believe


How about this gorgeous fall card????

I love this color combo now that I see it together, but I don't know that I would have originally thought to put it together....  Now, that I have, I love it!!

Read on to learn more......




We start our card with a Rich Razzleberry card base, then added a layer of Tangelo Twist card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White card stock.

Next, we added a narrow strip of the Bohemian Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the card and two Rich Razzleberry 2" Circle Punches, along with a Blackberry Bliss rectangle piece.



Bohemian Designer Series Paper  138446  $11.00




2" Circle Punch  133782  $18.00



Next, we stamped "Believe" in Rich Razzleberry ink from the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.  We flagged the end of this piece using our Banner Triple Punch and then added a Pumpkin Pie (it's close enough to Tangelo Twist, don't you think?) Candy Dot to this piece.



Lighthearted Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set  139712  $26.00




Banner Triple Punch  138292  $23.00



Brights Candy Dots  130931  $6.00



Finally, we stamped our leaf in Rich Razzleberry ink on Tangelo Twist card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating Leaflets Framelits.

Next, we colored the leaf in with our White Gel Pen.  I love the effect this creates on this leaf!

What do you think??  Leave me a comment below and let me know!
