But, before I announce the Swanky Stamper for this month, I thought I would show you a couple of the cards that made it so difficult.
First, this super CUTE card from Jana Weaver that uses the sweet ole bear from our "Big Bear" set. Love the different textures, the ruffled bit behind him that looks like an iceberg and the snowflake treatment at the top. So glitzy and glam. But, I really like those paper pieced paws. The SWEEETEST.
Then there was Lisa Henke's card for Sony's Color Challenge. It was a tough one that challenged you to use Orange, Pink and Red. And Lisa rose to the occasion with this one. She used PJ from our "Give A Little" set. And she knows the way to my heart, food. This card is luscious with yummy peppermint candy red. I've always thought that candy canes and peppermints were the prettiest candy of the season, and Lisa proves that.
And, then there is Tammy Hershberger's wonderful card. She uses "Define Good" in this card and our "Icing" and "Snowflake" CutUps. And check out Tammy's coloring of that image! It made me gasp when I saw it. So wonderful.
See what I mean about picking a winner? Really tough. And now, the one I did pick.
Lisa Henke — Swanky Stamper for DecemberLisa has created a lot of wonderful cards and designs in the past, but this one absolutely wowed me. Not only is the layout not traditional, but her use of paper, patterns and textures are just FAB.
Take the sentiment. The sentiment comes to you on our "Sheepish" Swanky Set on one line. Here, she places the sentiment on two lines (easy with clear stamps) and puts it smack dab in the center of a large felt snowflake. Seems like it just belongs.
She lets the paper do all the work in the card by choosing a simple layout, with only a few added elements. Truly a case of less is more.
