Did you check out our Fun n’ Crafty Holiday Swap blog hop?  If you did, you saw some great ideas using stamps and other products from the Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog.  Well, we had more people participate in the swap than could participate in the Blog Hop and they were all such great cards that I wanted to share more of them here today.

Here are more of the great cards that were shared:

For All Things watercolored card by Kathy Thisted

Festival of Trees Christmas Card by Tobe Buffenbarger

I loved all the little details from the tone-on-tone stamping with the trees to the stars embossing folder in the background… and of course, sequins!

Holiday Home Christmas card by Jill Cantorna

I love how she made it look like there were snowy hills by layering the white cardstock and adding a bit of sparkle along the edge of the each hill slope!  So creative!  And I thought it was awesome too how she was able to use the photopolymer santa image from this set and curve it so it fit in the moon!  One of the perks of bendy stamps.

This great Halloween Haunted house using Holiday Home by Cindy Espino

I wouldn’t have thought to make this stamp a haunted house but it was great!  And that Screamy Spooky background paper – all handstamped!  Yup!  From the Mingle all the Way stamp.  Didn’t she do awesome pulling all the different elements from different papers and stamps together?

Love this Seasonally Scattered swap by Rosemary Bryson

Rose is always so great at layering and having lots of little touches to her cards.  Like in this card, there is the embossing of the hearts in the background, the embossing of the sentiment, the marbling watercoloring, and of course the faux stitching!

So, what do you think?  Great ideas, right?

I hope they inspired you like they inspired me!  Seriously, one of my favorite things about getting the new catalogs is this great team swap.
