Talk about the ultimate recycling project. For this technique, cover your cardstock completely with adhesive. I don't like using spray adhesive, so I just covered it with rows and rows of Snail and it worked great. Press a used dryer sheet onto the adhesive, trim the extra, and then cover the dryer sheet with glitter. Quick but impressive. 
I modeled these after some samples we saw at the Louisville Stampin' Up! Regional earlier in the fall. I am afraid these might not make it onto any of my packages this year because they are just too cute! The stamp club ladies each got to make one last week. I have my favorite, but it was fun to see which stitched felt pieces we ran out of first. 
Here's a new way to use an embossing folder. Emboss the top and then the bottom of your cardstock, but not the entire piece. This Snow Burst embossing folder from the Holiday Mini is a consistent pattern and looks nice broken up with the solid band - a perfect place for the Jolly Holiday stamp. 
With a few score lines using the Simply Scored tool, this is a pretty quick but fancy looking card. But the part I really like is the belly band. Did you notice the Dazzling Details on the berries is red? Mix reinker into the Dazzling Details and make your own custom color. 
I love using the treat cups with the mica flakes from the Holiday Mini Catalog. And this is a card version of a project I saw at convention this summer. They actually put the treat cup on a stick and made a sucker, but we went ahead and made this into a card for stamp club. The outline came from the Perfect Pennant die, and it's just the perfect size. And the tree was made with the Pennant Parade stamp set and trimmed down to make the tiny tree. A little Dazzling Details on the snow and it's ready to go!
You know how sometimes you can't quite get the card you are working on to look quite the way you pictured it in your mind? That was this card for me. I was trying to create 3 cards for my Christmas stamp-a-stack that all had different styles. I knew a number of my stampers like the Crumb Cake cardstock and also the natural look. So I think with a little tweaking, I came up with something that fit the bill and went nicely with the blingy stocking and the other "cute" card we did. And it turned out to be a favorite. 
This is so similar to a card made by my friend, Cathy Roy, that I am calling a cased card. But that's the beauty of working with such a talented group of stampers. This was a card I received in a swap of mini catalog stamp sets. It was so great as it was that I made only a small change so that I could do it with the supplies I had on hand. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Don't forget to visit my online store to shop the Online Extravaganza. There are some great deals, but if you are a new stamper or want to introduce someone to a new hobby, I highly recommend the Classic Stampin' Spots - Getting Started Collection - Sale Price: $13.17 Regular Price $21.95.
My stamping friends and I worked on putting these together for baby shower party favors. It's hard to pick my favorite!
This little card covers a number of techniques. The wreath was made using Poppin' Pastels technique on that great fall wreath stamp in the mini catalog hostess set, Warmest of Wishes. A little sponging on the 4 panels gave the door some texture and the little bow is a fork bow. 
Well you might not be able to tell from this picture, but this is a shaker card using the new shaker frames. I put Dazzling Diamonds and mica flakes in it, but with the card standing up, you can't see any of that. You'll just have to trust me ;-) I was kind of excited to find yet another use for the spider web embossing folder, and boy are these shaker frames easier to use than double sided tape that I would have to cut in strips and piece together!
