Barb's Holiday Best Valentine card...

Barb brought this adorable textured Love Note to our demo meeting as a swap.

It uses Chocolate Chip textured card stock, a piece of Sending Love specialty paper, and a stamp from the Level 1 hostess set Holiday Best.

Who says a card has to be complicated? This is a very sweet note anybody would be happy to receive!

Other items used include a marker, dimensionals, and corner rounder punch.

Michelle's textured Of The Earth bookmark card...

I tried taking this photo so you could see not only the texture on the Chocolate Chip layer, but on the Melon Mambo card itself. Stampin' Up! offers textured 8-1/2" x 11" card stock. It really adds to the card.

Michelle brought this to swap at our demo gathering Saturday. It uses two Level 1 hostess sets - Of The Earth and Holiday Best.

The part with the Melon Mambo polka-dotted ribbon and stamped image is actually a bookmark that pulls out to use! Very clever!!! The bookmark is one of the tags from the Two Tags die for the Big Shot.

Gifts of the Earth meets Holiday Best...

Here's one of the cards we made at my Autumn Thanks Stamp Camp Sunday. Everyone said this was their favorite.

The Very Vanilla card uses the turkey from Gifts of the Earth, and the "Give Thanks" stamp from the Level 1 hostess set Holiday Best.

We used watercolor crayons and a blender pen to color the turkey, and used markers to ink up the sentiment stamp before punching it out with the Wide Oval Punch.

That fabulous paper - top and bottom - is from the Autumn Meadows designer pack in the Holiday Mini Catalog, with a piece of Really Rust card stock punched with the Eyelet Border Punch in between. The ribbon is 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain.
