Guest Stamper Leslie Swearinger
What a fabulous card vintage-style Christmas card Leslie Swearinger has created! Leslie is a first-level member of The Schach Pack and is available to assist you with your Stampin’ Up! needs if you live in the Peoria, IL area. In case you are wondering about the background of this card, Leslie used the Belle wheel to create her own Designer Paper, passed it through the Big Shot with her Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and then gently swiped the surface with a Cherry Cobbler ink pad.
Seeing this card just sent the Belle wheel to the top of my Wish List! Thanks, Leslie, for sharing your creative talent with us!
Twins’ Wins
Does this look like the face of a United Kennel Club (UKC) Champion to you? Meet UKC Champion Cimarron’s What Were You Thinking. Brody received his UKC title this weekend, and was named Best of Winners. His sister Muffy also earned her UKC Champion title, and won the Champion class. For people not familiar with the dog show world, the UKC is different from the American Kennel Club (AKC). Muffy needs her two major wins before she becomes an AKC champion, and Brody has not even started accumulating his AKC points. A major show has a specific number of dogs present, and are typically very large shows. It is difficult to win majors and they are difficult to find, too. Muffy will be headed all the way to Monroe, Michigan Thursday in order to compete Friday in a major against 31 other female Boxers. However, at 13-1/2 months old, she still needs to mature physically. But she will have fun, and she needs to be in a ring with lots of dogs to gain experience. The Twins did get their official New UKC Champion picture taken together at the show. I will definitely post the picture of the two when I receive it.

Congrats on the twins’ show ring success.This is a real biggie for them, and I am so happy for all of you. This card background today is exactly the look I am trying to get with embossing and brayering. I still have a way to go with it. Thanks for posting.

Lovely card from your guest designer Leslie. I am so happy for the twins. I see Brody’s injury time off hasn’t diminished his competitive spirit. Hugs to both twins.
Wow! Thank you so much for posting my vintage card. I actually made this card to teach in a workshop I hosted a couple of weeks ago. I loved making the fabric yoyo on it. I had a wonderful time spending yesterday with you (and Brody)and just making cards. I absolutely must do this again soon!
Congrats to the twins! Your team members have a great, inspirational leader! Your cards are gorgeous as always! Sorry I have not had a chance to stop by!
Leslie’e card is SO very lovely! What a fabulous technique! Going to give that a try for sure!
