Card Clubs - January 3 and January 10

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you are all looking forward to a new year.

These are the cards that we will be making at my Card Clubs on January 3 and January 10:

This card was inspired by Plain Jane on Splitcoaststampers, and it uses the Stampin' Up! Winter Post and Lovely as a Tree Stamp sets.  I used a dryer sheet and dazzling diamonds glitter to create the snow look, and Crystal Effects on the reflection image.

This card was inspired by Darlene Designs on Splitcoaststampers, and it uses the Stampin' Up! I (heart) Hearts stamp set.  I used white embossing powder on whisper white card stock, and then added the color using sponges on the ink pads.  I also used the heart embosslit to create the pink heart in the lower right corner of the card.

This card is a "Brenda Original," and I made it using the Stampin' Up! Take it to Heart and Loving Thoughts stamp sets along with the heart embossing plate. 

I really love doing the Card Clubs.  I've made some great new friends, and I'm looking foward to having a lot of fun and sharing some new ideas and techniques .

2011 Christmas Cards

What a busy time of the year it is!  I'm afraid that I have been very neglectful of my posting, but I did want to add pictures of some of the Christmas cards I made this year.  I do want to note that many of the cards I made were replicas or came from ideas of other people on splitcoaststampers.com, although there are a few Brenda originals.  Thanks for looking.
