With the deadline for mailing your holiday cards looming closer, why not look at how you can take a few time-saving shorcuts to pull them together faster? When I need to whip a card together and I'm short on time, the number one item I'll grab from my stamping supplies will ALWAYS be my patterned paper.

Luckily for me, Stampin' Up! has some beautiful ones that coordinate with our colour selections & stamp sets, so it makes cardmaking likety-quick!

The first 3 cards are from this past Holiday card camp that make use of our Designer papers. The 4th card is a better close up of Lisa's card (shown in production mode yesterday) so while it wasn't what I'd call a quick card, its still darn gorgeous and since it uses our papers, I'm adding it for your pleasure!

HAPPY STAMPING,
- Caroline

P.S. Don't forget to visit the blog on Monday when the retiring wheels & accessories will be posted, plus I'll be extending my "Buy 3, Get 1 free" offer on retiring stamp sets until the 15th. Although I can no longer guarantee a holiday delivery, I *can* offer a good deal!
