Before Thanksgiving, I put a call out for your best, most beautiful Holiday cards. As I received them, I snapped photos. I swapped them and sent them back out. Now that all the recipients have received their swaps, I’m sharing them here.
Take a look. Study them. Love them. Stop in below to share your kind remarks with the creators of these beauties.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Tab backwards to see Days 1 -3 if you missed them. That’s not all of them, folks. I have one more day of cards to share with you, so please keep checking back. And don’t forget to let these folks know how much you like their cards!
Brian
I would LOVE to receive any of those in the post! But have to say I am particularly loving your tree one Jessica Stewart! 🙂
Oh, another parade of amazing, beautiful cards. All of them are so lovely and creative. I finally see another one of the cards I received, by Bobby Miller and it’s #6. The deer image is so much pretty in person, it has this beautiful sheen and texture and I’m wondering how this was done. Thank you Bobby for this card, that is already on display in my living room.
Hi Maria, Why thank you! The deer was stamped with Versamark and embossed with silver powder. The velvet ribbon is now retired, but I love it. 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Bobby, I love the look of the silver on the deer. I have embossing powder but it looks like glitter once it’s embossed. The ribbon is gorgeous, so sorry it’s not available anymore. Thanks again for my card.
Wonderful work!!
Loved them. It is always so much fun to see what others create.
Each one of these cards is special in design and creativity. I have the top two by Jessica and the Christmas Lodge tree by Bobbi …You just can`t appreciate how pretty they really are unless you see them in the real . I like getting the real ones because it shows me how the stamp set looks or the punch or die look and that helps me decide on whether I would like to have it . And Suze your Triple card looks very neat …maybe I`m putting too much on mine when I do them…. Oh, and before I leave …Bobbi if you don`t have a blog you should get one to tell all of us how you do all your card techniques…. !
Thanks Sonny! I got one of your cards as well, and it'[s just beautiful! I do have a blog, but I work so much that I hardly have time to post. It’s http://bobbi-spapertrail.blogspot.com/ To be honest, I see other cards and if I like it, I add my own twist, so it’s not exactly the same. However, I have CASE’d many. And, sometimes, if I’m lucky, I think of things all by my self! 🙂 The Christmas Lodge card was my own design, but notice the squiggly lines around it? That was a mistake; the edge of the stamp got ink on it, so I thought, quick! cover that up! So I just drew red and green lines around it to hide my boo boo. 🙂 Thanks so much for your kind words! They mean a lot to a relatively new stamper…. ( 3 years). Merry Christmas!
Pure genius there! Wonderful and looks great!
What a showcase of cards! Every one is a masterpiece in itself. You must have got a boatload if you still have one day left. What a successful swap!
Beautiful cards!
Another nice bunch !! You got some telented friends !!! Love them all tfs !!
Very creative and I’d be pleased to receive any one of them.
All the cards are beautiful…. and Brian, thanks again for always giving US some great inspiration and the chance to showcase ours! You rock my new friend! 🙂 Merry Christmas! to everyone!
You know I just realized that I didn`t see a card from Patti…I remember her last one I just loved and I still plan to get that flower while it`s on the single stamp status …and I decided Maria`s cards must be being held back for the big TAH DAH finale !!!!! ……just saying….
I continue to be excited and amazed at these wonderful cards…thank you again, Brian, for showcasing each card for us…almost as goog as being in the swap…geezzzz, better cuz we get to see all of them!
…almost…Think I might have to get into this swap next year:) You too, Carol? We’ll still get to look at them all on Brian’s blog!
Carol and Catherine: I hope you gals jump in next swap, I’m thinking Valentine’s Day?? Brian is really sweet and patient and a wonderful host, because I’m sure this is a lot of work but, on the other hand, he gets to see all of this great cards first and I’m sure he is enjoying every minute of it.
Lisa Poe I got your card and have been waiting on it to be posted to tell you how much I love it!!! It was the first Christmas card I received this year and it is proudly at the top of my card tree!! Thanks Brian for hosting this swap!!! Would love a Valentines Swap!! Must start right after Christmas! I let this one slip right up on me!!
You had a card posted on Pinterest that I really liked but don’t know the measurements to make it prop open and stand, not sure the correct term there. I would like to learn how to make that. It opens and props up by standing against the verse. Thanks Sally
