SUsan's Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack!!!

A very good friend of mine is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator!

Every year as the days inch closer to Christmas, she hostesses a Stamp-a-Stack event.

Today I spent a few hours stampin' up some very elegant and fun Christmas cards!

We made 3 of each of the 8 card designs...

I snapped solo pics of each card.

Here they are...

 This snowman set is super cute!

I do NOT own it.

Love this jaunty snowfellow.

---------------------------------------------------

 I do own this set.

It is my FAVOURITE of the current Holiday Mini Catty!

The 'Joy' looks black but it is actually pewter embossing.

Loooove it!

---------------------------------------------------

 I don't own this set either ... it's always nice to use something that I don't have!

This set is a very fun set.

I'll use these ones for the kiddos teachers.

----------------------------------------------------

 This fellow is the companion to the tall skinny snowman above.

The embossed snowflakes are so pretty!

Love those embossing folders!

They make such an impact on a card and it's SO easy to do!!!

--------------------------------------------

 Another terrific embossing folder!

Love this colour combo!

Terrific ribbon and a pretty wee pearl to finish off the card!

-----------------------------------------

 I am not sure why I couldn't get this pic straight and PS was NOT cooperating today...

I even kicked the pic out and reloaded it...oh well....

ANOTHER loverly embossing folder and gorgeous tree stamp!!!

I HAD to buy this set once I'd been to the s-a-s event...

Them's the dangers of attending such a wonderful time....

you tend to want what you used!!!

The Cherry Cobbler embossing powder really makes the sentiment pop!

These pictures really do NOT do these cards justice!

REALLY!!!!

-----------------------------------

 Sorry...this pic is a tad blurry...

Loooove this stamp set, don't own it...forgot to order it...

LOL...

It's ok though... it's in the main catty so I have a few more months to decide if I really NEED it....

or if I can just borrow it from Susan...

{wink, wink}

Love the swirly snowflakey-ness of this "tree" image.

Used some Dazzling Diamonds on here too!

It now comes in a glue form...

[like unto 'Stickles]

but the colouring is different from any that they have...

So YES.... I own a couple of bottles of it!

----------------------------------

----------------------

This card is an unexpected colour combination.

It is very warm and, I think, a striking looking card.

I am very pleased with all of the cards this year!

I think Susan did a tremendous job in designing them!

THANK YOU Susan!!!

I'm already looking forward to next year's specimens!!!

So.. let me just take a moment to be the FIRST to wish everyone...

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
