Happy Mail!

Guess what Mr. Postman brought me today??? Bills - nope. Junk mail - wrong again! He brought my swap cards! A couple of weeks ago I posted the swap card that I was sending to my demo-friend Glenda. And this is what I got in return! Pretty fabulous, huh?!?

The back left is a tent-topper card with the jumbo Snow wheel shadow stamped on the front. (You know where you wheel the image in white ink first and then you wheel over it with a darker color? Yeah - I can never get mine to match up but this card turned out BEAUTIFUL!) The back middle is a card that pairs reverse masking with the Stem Silhouettes stamp set. The color combo is awesome!! The back right is like a stained glass window in real life. The tag from Holy Triptych is stamped and then the inside is cut out. The Mary and Joseph image is stamped on another piece of cardstock and then layered under the cut out window. (That probably makes no sense, but I'm trying to do this card justice!)

The middle left uses a trio Season of Joy Christmas trees. They are masked to give the main image a bit of dimension. The colors on this one are fabulous! The middle card on the middle row uses some of the delicious wrapping paper as the background! How cute is that?!? And with the amount of wrapping paper that comes on a roll, it would last forever!! The middle left card also uses the Season of Joy Christmas tree, but this one pairs it with the Dashing designer series paper for a totally different look. Real Red brads were also added for a little bit of WOW on the front of the card!

The front left card uses one of my all-time favorite holiday themes - SNOWFLAKES!!! And the way that the creator used a snowflake for the "O" in JOY...just precious! The front right card has some awesome circle tags from the Naughty or Nice stamp set. Each one is double-matted and "hung" with a bow!

I love each and every one of these cards! These gals are SUPER-talented and I love to participate in their swaps!!
