Hello Stampin’ Friends,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Last Monday I said I would share more swaps from our 2014 Holiday Stampin’ Retreat … today I have 3 more for you! Let’s begin with Eileen’s swap card ….
Eileen used the new “Cheerful Christmas” stamp set and Filigree Frame folder from the Nordic Noel Suite found on pages 14 & 15 of the Holiday Catalog. She framed it so beautifully by using the Apothecary Accents Framelit Die.
She used Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White for her card … then added a pop of red holiday cheer by coloring her rhinestones. This card truly sends cheer for Christmas!
Our next swap is from Cindy P. …
Cindy’s all Whisper White present card is striking with the bold pop of red ribbon. Her gifts were embossed with the Lovely Lace, Woodgrain, and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folders. With each layer you get the dimension of real Christmas gifts … how lovely!
The third swap comes from Cindy S. …
Cindy’s card was done in Island Indigo and Sahara Sand with just a pop of White to tie in her snowflakes! The snowflakes and greeting come from the “Endless Wishes” stamp set found in the Holiday Catalog.
You may think you have enough snowflake stamp sets, but with the many greetings included in this set … you will have “endless” ways to say Merry Christmas!
Cindy also used the Silver Metallic Ribbon and Frosted Sequins to highlight her card … It’s simply stunning.
I am so glad that Kris suggested doing swaps at our Retreats, because not only do they get to do all the wonderful cards & projects at retreat, but they also get the beautiful cards made by each other… How wouldn’t be inspired 🙂
Thank you for checking out my blog today, I hope you enjoyed these beautiful cards as well.
Have a wonderful week.

Thank you for your comment Nancy …I agree, they are gorgeous cards but your cards are just as pretty … and we miss you at retreat. Spring retreat is just around the corner and I hope you could join us again 🙂
I really love the idea of coloring the rhinestones, that way you always have “bling” that matches!
Thanks Olivia for your comment, I agree. Did you know that with the new Blendabilities you can also color things like the buttons & stuff! No end to the possibilities and so much fun!
