Merry Christmas!!!

To my Dear Stampers,

Stampers like you are the heart of my Stampin' Up! business! 
Thank you so much for supporting me throughout the past year!
It has been a real pleasure stamping with you this year.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas
and a healthy, happy and successfull New Year!

Stampingly yours,
Maria

Here are some hand-stamped cards I received in the mail this year.  This card I received from an upline for recruiting two demonstrators in October. I am so glad and excited to have Tina and Paige on my team!  Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric is used like a piece of ribbon around the card.


Merry Christmas Circles was stamped by Frances and her daughter Elizabeth from Virginia. 


I received this card from my upline and friend, Sharon.  The glitter is applied to the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  Scenic Season and Welcome Christmas stamp sets were used.


Sending Three Wise Men cards for Christmas is tradition.  I received this card from Kim.  Come to Bethlehem stamp set.

Here's the inside of Kim's card...


Good ol' Button Bear from my cousin, Sheila.  Gotta love Button Bear!



Here's another Three Wise Men card from my Mom.



This card is from the Kanich family.


Christ is Born is from Florence. 


This ornate ornament card is from my friend and team member, Tina. 


I received this card from my friend Barbara.  This is another Kim card.


Stampin' Up! is a great company.  Here's a little gift they placed in my demo order this month.  It's a sample of the rub-ons that will be in next mini catalog!

Medallion Cards

The Medallion is one of Stampin' Up!'s most popular stamps since it was introduced a few years ago, and one of my favorites!  I like because it is elegantly striking and so versatile.  Change the colors and you have a different look and feel.  The first Medallion is stamped in More Mustard and Chocolate Chip with a Real Red strip of cardstock for an accent.  The splatters are made using the Color Spritzer with a Chocolate Chip marker.  I love splattering ink with the Color Spritzer--so much fun!


 This Medallion is done in Night of Navy, and is sponged with Night of Navy as well.

Happy Stamping!
