2 Bling Card Swaps from Demonstrators-- (including One Doily Dress)

 Card Swap made by Mary Cargill of Reno, NV

One bad thing about all of these "bling swaps" I recd in Nov.
is that its very difficult to get a good photo sometimes!!
The silver foil on the left side and the copper foil leaf punches
make the card too blingy as well as the shimmer paper on the right!!
(that is the Frosted Floral Specialty Paper from the Holiday Catalog)

At any rate, this swap was made by Eve Ikeda from Honolulu.
(wish I was stamping with her there right now--hee, hee)


I appreciate you visiting.  Please leave a comment or just say hello.
What projects are you working on, now that Christmas Card season is over?
Thanks- Lori

Winter Woods Bundle from StampinUP makes Beautiful Winter Scenes!!


Both these card samples were made by someone else (not sure who).
I only recently got this bundle for myself, and have not played with it yet  : (
Need to remedy that soon, but at least it is not only for Christmas!!

On page 27 in the Holiday Catalog, you will find the Winter Woods Stamp Set
and matching In the Woods Framelits that are featured today.
I'm happy to report that they are not leaving quite yet, and are on the carry-over
list from StampinUP......YAY!

At any rate, I think the Winter Woods set will make a great addition
to my Lovely As A Tree set.....hey, that ones a staple (smile).

Buffalo Check Background Stamp from StampinUP is Sticking Around!!


I'M SO VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT A COUPLE OF MY FAVORITE STAMPS FROM THE HOLIDAY CATALOG ARE STICKING AROUND AFTER 1-2-2019 WHEN THE HOLIDAY CATALOG ENDS.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE "WISHING YOU WELL" STAMP SET & IT IS STAYING, ALONG WITH TODAYS' FEATURED STAMP-- "BUFFALO CHECK" !!  I WILL TELL YOU UP FRONT THAT I DID NOT MAKE EITHER CARD FOR TODAYS POST, BUT THEY WERE SWAPS/DISPLAYS THAT I LIKED, AND MADE BY OTHER DEMOS (UNKNOWN).

 Is this not just the cutest use of the little gingerbread man?!
I LOVE this idea, and might have to CASE it for a class project for sure  : )

This fun fold card was on a display board in Orlando I think.
The White, Black, and Blue color combo makes for a great masculine card.


I appreciate you blogging by & thanks for the visit!!
