leadership samples

At Leadership there is a large wall with all kinds of card samples and I took lots of pictures. I thought I would share a couple (sorry I can't give credit to who made these cards). I wanted to show these cards because they use the new beveled windowpanes. I kept looking in the catalogue at them but I didn't really understand them so seeing these samples was really helpful. Enjoy.

Swaps arrived!

So excited yesterday when I saw hubby arriving with my big envelope from the mailbox. I knew my holiday mini swap cards had arrived. I was dying to see what other Canadian demonstrators had done with the holiday mini products. Here's a beautiful card using the Fireside Christmas set. It's hard to see but she watercoloured the image and then covered the whole square paper with iridescent ice embossing powder. Gorgeous! She also used the vintage wallpaper embossing folder for texture and spritzed it with the log cabin smooch spritz. The co-ordinating deck the halls dsp was a great touch. Looking at this card, I realize that it's the small subtle touches that give that extra wow factor. Come out to one of my upcoming classes to see all the swap cards up close.
