Here's another swap card that I thought I'd share with you – designed by Sharri Coates from New Brunswick. The neat thing about this one – she's actually used 3 different Stampin' Up! background stamps to create the focal images. Bella Toile, En Francais and Wonderfully Worn. What a great idea! She's then punched out the images with the Large Tag punch, and mounted them on Extra Large Tag punches. Love this effect, and will definitely be trying this in a future class….
If you'd like to join me at an upcoming class, please contact me! Last minute spots available for the You Make Me Smile Class this Monday…

a Hallowe'en card!! Yes, thought I'd show you something a little more current season rather than wishing the weeks away until Christmas! LOL.
This is such a fun card, and easy to create, too! The Midnight Musings jumbo wheel (120863) creates a fast and easy background. The bats & moon are punched out (how easy is that) using the Bitty Bat Large Punch (119279) and the 2-1/2" Extra Large Circle punch (120906).
The inside of this card features more swooping bats – spooooooky! LOL
Also a note that my November class is filling quickly. The first Wednesday of each month is a general card class, cost is $15 to learn to create 4 cards featuring different Stampin' Up! product and various crafting techniques. November's class is a Christmas-themed class! For more information or to register, please contact me.

I love the look of dry embossing, and I LOVE how easy it is with the Big Shot and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. This card uses the snowflake folder "Northern Flurry" (featured in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue) and the Christmas greeting from the Perfect Punches set, which coordinates with the scallop circle punch. (Love that!!) I like this card so much, I may include it in some upcoming classes and workshops (though participants won't get to make 10 of them like they would in the Card Clinic!!)
Hope you've enjoyed the previews of the Card Clinic designs so far! I do realize, however, that some people aren't thinking ahead as far as I am, so plan on sharing some non-Christmas ideas in the next few posts, too. All the Christmas Card Clinic designs are in the Card Clinic 10 photo album on the right side of the blog. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the clinic at all.
