I can't wait to get to Tacoma and attend the Stampin' Up Regional Mini Convention. I love meeting and seeing new friends and old Stampin' UP friends. One of the fun things we do is swap cards for ideas. These ladies are SO creative - it's SUCH a lot of fun!!
Here's a couple of cards I made - I saw an idea something like this on Stampin' Connection ( our demonstrator stamping up sharing website) and just had to try it!!
It's hard to see, but I cut out the ornament with the newHoliday Ornaments Framelits and the silver glimmer paper. The picture definitely doesn't do it justice. Check out my next card (below) to see how I used the "negative" part of the cutout!!

Ink: VersaMark (102283, page 159) Silver Embossing Powder (109131, page 159)

Tool: Stampin' Sanding Block (129367, page 6 Holiday Catalog)
To make the cool look for the background, I ran the Core'dinations Cherry Cobbler Card Stock through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. I then sanded it off with the brand new Stampin' Sanding Block. Worked like a charm and actually gives the paper a real "wall paper" feeling. Really neat!
Here's the 2nd card I made using the "negative" part of the Silver Glimmer Paper - couldn't waste that wonderful paper
