Regional Projects

As part of the Regional event, each attendee received the adorable Berry Christmas stamp set.  You can find it in the Holiday Mini.  I just love the little bird and pointsettas!  The best part, it can be used far after the Christmas season.  I love when I can get that extra milage out of a set, don't you?

Below are 2 of the 3 projects that we made using our complimentary set.

Each card has a matching envelope.

Stamps:  Berry Christmas

Cardstock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White, Certainly Celery

Ink:  Bashful Blue, Real Red, Soft Suede, Certainly Celery

Accessories:  Buttons, linen thread, Real Red polka dot ribbon, silver brad, Trio flower punch

Chattanooga, TN Regional

Saturday I headed up to Chattanooga for my very first Stampin' Up! event.  A regional is where demonstrators get together for an afternoon of stamping, training, ideas, and card swapping.  One of the highlights of Stampin' Up! events is swapping cards.  I made 26 card fronts and gave them away to other demonstrators and got 26 different cards back.  I will post my favorites over the next several days.

First is my swap.  Below is the card I made.  Very simple.  It took my a little over an hour to make 26 of these.  Perfect for mass production if you need an idea for your Christmas card this year. 

Stamps:  Serene Snowflakes (Holiday Mini), Four the Holidays (Holiday Mini)

Cardstock:  Very vanilla, Soft Suede, Real Red

Ink:  Real Red, Soft Suede

Accessories:  Eyelet Border Punch
