Shoeboxin'

Last Friday a few of us got together to do a shoebox swap. We normally have 12 players, but due to scheduling and time constraints there were only 6 this time. We had a great time and I even won a door prize! Woo Hoo! I will show you 3 cards tonight and the other 3 tomorrow night, so stay tuned.

The theme for this round was holidays.

This first card was created by Doreen. Isn't this little turkey the cutest? The turkey is from Great Impressions and the Happy Thanksgiving saying is from Inkadinkado. The pumpkin and tips of Mr. Turkey's wings are all sparkled up with Orange Stickles. I just love the way Doreen used the Cuttlebug to emboss the background for Mr. Turkey.

The next card is Ginger's. It is hard to tell but the base card is brown shimmer cardstock and it is just gorgeous. Ginger embossed the Stampington image with White Diamond EP and the Impress word stamp was stamped in Pearlescent Chocolate Brilliance ink. Ginger always uses the teeniest little strips of paper to accent her work and she did it again with this card. She put one of her little strips under the bow to mimmick the pine sprigs. Too clever!

The last card for today was created by Liz. Liz used lots of wonderful fall colored Bazzill cardstock, some black magic mesh, a ginormous maple leaf punch and stamps from ?? (I will ask her tomorrow and update) One thing that Liz always does is decorate/stamp the inside of her cards. I just love that!

A tip for you: If you want to Cuttlebug your stamped background, be sure to stamp first, cuttlebug second.
