Seasons of Friendship

My new Stampin’ Up Stamp came in!!  I love the SEASONS of FRIENDSHIP stamp!!  It’s extremely versatile and leaves room for creativity! 

This weekend my friend Sarah and I are stampin’ and making cards.  We figured we should start our christmas cards early, so that we actually have enough to mail out.  (hehehe).  Every year, I tell myself I’m going to make cards but I never do.  I might actually do it Christmas 2009!!  :)

I made 8 of these tonight…for my Stampin’ Up card swap!
I used Stampin’ Up inks (Olive, Curry, Real Red and Chocolate Chip Brown).  I used Staz On for my sentiment and then  I embossed it.  I stamped the little birdie, versamarked it, embossed it and cut it out.  It is mounted with a pop dot.  The patterned Paper is from Mark’s Paper Company.  And of course, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that red gingham ribbon (which is from Michael’s…huge reel for $4.00!)  Are you in love with that stamp or what??  It came with a snowflake, and a little flower, so you can change it up and get really creative with it!
