Group 2 of July Swaps

For these next two cards, they tie very nicely in with this month's Product of the Month! So besides all the samples I'll be sharing with you, here are a couple more! I can't say enough how lucky I feel to be in this group of such talented women!

 This first card was made by Jen. I feel extra special to be in this group because Jen is one of the Artisan's for Stampin' Up! I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but now you know! This is such a great card and so easy to reproduce! She started with Whisper White for the base and has a layer of Real Red. The floral image from Wood Words (another non traditional holiday image!) was stamped in Real Red ink. She then stamped from the Carols of Christmas, the "Peace on Earth" in Archival Black on Crumb Cake and die cut with the Stitched Edge framelits. Jen added the new 3/8" Mini Chevron ribbon in Old Olive and for some sparkle she added the Iridescent sequins! I love it! Thanks Jen.

For this next card, using the same stamp set, Carols of Christmas, Pat used Dapper Denim and Tranquil Tide. Pat also used the border framelit as I did in my initial post but then embossed the layer with the Softly Falling embossing folder. The "Peace on Earth" was inked with both blue and green inks and also die cut with the Stitched Framelits, but used one of the circles instead of the square. To break up and add some interest, she used a piece of the 3/8" Striped Grosgrain ribbon in Dapper Denim. I liked the way she die cut the trees, once in the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and then in the Tranquil Tide card stock to give it a shadow. Pat also stamped the deer in Chocolate Chip ink and then die cut it. It's so nice to have the dies so you don't have to fussy cut everything! Lastly she added touches of the Clear Wink of Stella to the phrase and the deer. Not sure if you can tell in the picture, but it's there! It gives it just a bit of shimmer! Love this too!
