Say Goodbye: To A Cardinal Christmas!

Here we go again with deep breathing….! This cardinal is one of my FAVORITE Christmas Stamp Sets EVER! He's just so elegant. He is going to be missed BIG TIME by me….. Are you going to miss him? Or are you going to buy him before he's gone so that you don't HAVE to miss him!? Here are a bunch of cards I've received over the years using this little guy (the one on the bottom right hand corner was hand stamped by THE Shelli Gardner herself!!! You can bet that one is going in a frame after this!)

The item code for this stamp set is #111760 and the set is $23.95 and available in wood mount.  If you're a Newsletter subscriber – don't forget that you can buy 3 retiring sets and get the 4th of equal or lesser value at 50% off!

You can order this stamp set along with many other retiring products at my online store and start earning Aly's Online Ordering Rewards today!

A Cardinal Christmas

I received this beautiful Christmas Card in the mail the other day from a customer, Jeanne Gage. Didn't she do a fabulous job with this cardinal?! It's so striking.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The Scallop Oval Punch was designed to coordinate with both the Small and Large Oval Punches for flawless layering! The word "joy" is shown here with the Large Oval Punch.
• Jeanne showed a fabulous example of how you don't always have to watercolor to get such a richly colored image! She used Stampin' Write Markers and it came out beautifully. I love how bold the colors are.
• Sponging is a fabulous way to add a bit of extra somethin' somethin' to any project — the sponging done on this card really takes it to the next level!
• Ribbon doesn't always have to have a knot or bow attached to it – here, it's simply used as another layer. So for those of you who curse ribbon tying – no worries, it doesn't mean you have to do without!

Hung Up for the Holidays!

Today I'm in Canandaigua, NY putting on a BIG Christmas Bonanza Event with several of my downline members for our customers to attend! It's going to be awesome! We were up late last night setting up the facilities – wonderful projects, yummy food and a whole table filled with exclusive Christmas Samples just for attendees to viewI!!! Pretty awesome!! I'll be sure to share a couple of photos soon.

This was a SWAP that my mom, and one of my downline members, made for our Oktoberfest Retreat SWAP at the beginning of October. I really loved the balance of simplicity and interest it had, so thought it would be a wonderful addition to the GRAND Christmas Card Class coming up on November 21st!
