New Spellbinders

New Christmas Spellbinders arrived today! 

Card Swap 2014 continued...

 Last week I didn't show you Rachel's card that she made for the Card Swap. This card is not eligible for the voting. But here it is:

 

 The door opens like this:

and the inside of the actual card looks like this:

 The door was made using this die and the holly is fabric that looks like this:

 

These were the two stamp sets she used and she distressed the door using this Tim Holtz distress ink.

At our card swaps we always give a prize for "Rachel's favorite" card. This year, this card was the one that Rachel chose as her favorite and it was made by Dora Doss. 

 Inside:

Dora used this fabric on her card: 

 Here is Rachel pictured with Dora who is holding the wall hanigng that Rachel made as the prize.

  

Rachel also gave an "honorable mention" prize and that went to this card and it was made by Laura Scott. 

 Inside:

 Here is Laura pictured with her card and her prize.

And a shot of all the ladies with their cards. Everyone did a wonderful job. 

Still one day left to vote for your favorite card! 

Thanks to everyone that already did. 

Have a great week!

Cardinals & Pumpkins

Good Afternoon! 

It's time to get started on Christmas cards!

Here are some ideas to get you inspired...

These cards were made by Rachel.

The cardinal card was made using these next two fabrics. 

 And the poinsettias on the second card came from this fabric.

Also, over the weekend we had an Outline Sticker's class and here is one of the cards from that class. The pumpkins are Outline Stickers. 

 And the sticker sheet that the pumpkins came from looks like this.

On Wednesday we have our yearly Christmas Card Swap. Ladies have signed up for this and have designed Christmas cards that they will be swapping. We will be posting all the different cards on the blog to give YOU a chance to vote for your favorite card! Then on Wednesday, September 3 we will be announcing the winner.

You will have until Tuesday, August 26 to vote online or you can vote in store and that voting ends on Tuesday, September 2nd. 

So join in the fun and check back here on Wednesday or better yet, stop in here at the store to view the cards in person.
