I received two "jaw-dropping" Christmas cards this week. They are both made by members of my Stampers With ART Community. (Such fun we have sharing!)
This first one by Verla Carpenter is full of so much detail! She used a variety of products some of which I listed below, but take note that the pretty bokeh designer paper in the background won't be available until January 4th when it debuts in the Filled With Love pack in the 2017 Occasions catalog.
I keep telling Verla she needs to start a blog so she can share her beautiful creations with the world. Don't you agree? But in the meantime, I get the privilege of sharing them here on her behalf. (Do you remember her card with the hanging fushias?!)

The detail is just amazing. The sponging, the layers, the pearls, the stitching…!
Even the inside is super special.
This second one by Carol Lucas is super fun! I can't wait to make more cards with this great fold! And OOOO-LA-LA…I LOVE that Candy Cane Lane paper. Unfortunately it is no longer available, so it's not in our online store anymore. It sold out pretty quickly. I'm sure you can see why. She gives credit to Dawn Griffith and this video (click here) for the idea.

I am still mass-producing my 160 personal Christmas cards, but I also featured these adorable houses found in the designer paper (click here to check them out). I vote that Stampin' Up! brings this paper back and makes a new stamp set to go with it with this house image! 🙂
I hope you enjoyed these cards! Thanks for stopping by today.
Beautiful cards, such talent.
Love, love, love the blue card (it’s my favorite color)!!
Absolutely stunning cards! Verla’s card is definitely my favorite though, I always love blue and white. Can you tell us what she used to make the little snowflake in the top right corner?
Oh I love these cards! Why can’t I come up with these clever cards? Jaw dropping indeed! Thanks for sharing them with us! Yes, she needs to have a blog and share more of her talent with us! Love the “frosting on the gingerbread houses. Yes, it would be fantastic to have more of that paper and then more cute characters to go with the Christmas Cookie Cutter punch as well as the houses!
Vera definitely needs a blog! I’d love to see more of her creations and hear about her thought processes! This blue card is gorgeous. TFS
I agree!
Thanks for your kind comment, Mary. It’s a tranquil color. I love it, too!
I love your idea of the added cute characters for the cookie cutter punch. 😉 Thanks Chris!
I’ll pass along your sweet words to her, Susan. 🙂 Thanks!
Just found out…it’s from the center of the one of the stockings in the Christmas Stockings Thinlits set…#141841.
That Verla is AMAZING!
She really is!
