These are the other two cards we did in the Over the Top Christmas Card Class.

  I'm not quite sure who created this card using Evergreen but they did a fabulous job. I like the stamps in this set especially the tree shaped words used above "Silent Night, Holy Night".  The vintage feel is captured really well with the Trinkets, linen thread, Crochet Trim and the Core'dinations Expresso card stock & Woodgrain embossing folder.



This card was Marlayne's creation for Founders Circle.  I absolutely love this stamp set Rejoicing with You  from the main Catalogue (thank you Linda M for the loan).  It is not hard to use 3 colours of embossing powder (silver, gold and pewtar) on the same image and the result is incredible. Again everyone loved it!

Just a tip - when using Glimmer Paper (or any of your favourite papers) for a layer - be sure to punch out or use your framelits in the middle of the layer so all that paper does not go to waste behind an image.  From the Champagne Glimmer layer we cut/punched out the ornament that we used on the Ornament Card  (using Holiday Ornaments framelits) and the star punch for the star at the top of the tree on the Evergreen Card.

I saw this card on Create with Connie and Mary's blog and absolutely fell in love with it.  The tone on tone, my favourite technique emboss resist, the wood grain embossing folder, the Labels Framelits so I CASED it and I mean CASED it!  I think I changed the sentiment but that was pretty much it.
The Stampers Technique Club ladies also loved it so thanks to Connie and Mary!! 

At the Stampers Clubs I like to provide 2 - 3 projects including an interesting fold, a fab technique and some sort of 3D project and this is what I chose for the month of September.  I chose this because at our Demonstrator Meeting (one of the best reasons to be a demonstrator - I get to attend meetings and stamp - thanks to my upline Sherida) Amanda demonstrated it for us.  Everyone at club loved it too and so simple to make.  It fits a gift card, cash or chocolate etc - perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a birthday.  I used the Bigz Die Autumn Accents and cut out the leaves and then embossed them with a variety of folders.  I used the Core'dinations cardstock which you can see lends itself to distressing so nicely and then the oak leaf done in Champagne Glitter Paper - wow!!  All of this is in the Holiday Catalogue.

Happy stamping!
