Stampin UP Christmas Cards

We had a blast on Saturday (Nov 3rd) at our Christmas card stamp-a-stack! Although they worked long and hard, these ladies no longer have to worry about what Christmas cards they'll be designing or creating anymore and it's November!

We produced 4 cards each of 6 different designs ....for a total of 24, using the Scentsational Season bundle in the Holiday catalog (pg. 16).

 This stamp set is one of my top picks and must-have's in the Holiday catalog! You can purchase the framelits and stamp set as a bundle (item 129945 WM, 129946 CM) and save 15%!

Stampin Up demonstrator card swaps

I keep finding myself saying that "time flies" and I really mean it! The last week of September is upon us and we're getting ready to jump into October. Really?!!!!

Anywho, as a part of Denise Sullivan's downline, I have the pleasure of getting to know other SU! demo's in the DFW metroplex as we get together every quarter. We mingle then do a card swap (my favorite part). We all describe it as Christmas every quarter.

I want to show you several projects made with Stampin' Up's current catalogs which are all too cute but will only be showing a few of them for time's sake.

Fall cards created by Becca Davidson (left) using the Wonderfall stamp set and Jessica Lewis (right) using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set.

Halloween cards created by ?? (left) using the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set and Denise Sullivan (right) using the My Digital Studio.

Halloween cards created by Samantha Brown (left) and ?? (right); both used the Googly Ghouls stamp set.

 

Christmas cards created by Michele Tate (left) using the Scentsational Season stamp set and ?? (right) using the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set.

I sincerely apologize for not giving credit (denoted by ??) to whom it corresponds. Not all my swaps were labeled by their perspective creator and it's hard to memorize who made what.

Hope all of these swaps inspired you to keep creating! If you have any questions on how some of these were made or what products were used, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at jretana06@gmail.com.
