Look at what Amy M, from Create 365 in Scott, Louisianna created using the Holiday Style patterned paper and a few other Bazzill embellishments. How cute are those snowmen? Amy says, “I created a layout using Holiday Style. I am teaching it as a class at the store…I love using the Prismatics Family paper to cut diecuts on my Cricut. The only cardstock we carry is Bazzill. It is my favorite!”

Thanks for sharing, Amy. We love your project!

When she’s not providing “superior customer service” Bazzill’s own Alayna is creating beautiful cards!  Here is her FAB entry for the Holiday Style Card Swap!  What a “talented team-player” she is!  Love your clever idea for  this gate-fold card with that cool over-lapping title.  This one  is just destined to be scrap-lifted!

We had a busy afternoon collecting incoming cards for Bazzill Swaps late yesterday afternoon.  It was a happy, happy time!  Here’s what we got:

The above pretty entry by Caterina T. from Mesa, AZ.  So pretty…and the lucky swappers who get one of Caterina’s cute cards will be inspired by her embossed envelope!  Love it!

We are so impressed with Kerri B.’s card (from Mesa, Arizona).  Look at all the glitter she added to her elegant card with a stamped sentiment.  Well done Kerri!

Scarlett T. of El Mirage, Arizona sent in this adorable card with a Peppermint Twist!  Love the gift wrapping of this “sweet” card embellished with a “tasty jewel.”

Thanks for participating girls!

We received Krissy M.’s Holiday Swap Cards from Magnolia, Texas today.  Good job meeting your deadline Krissy!  We love your “sweet” gingerbread men…the bow ties with the jewel accent was a nice touch.  This is the first card we received that is a square.  No worries fellow swappers… Krissy has you covered with square envelopes!

Bazzill’s very own Joey turned in her Holiday Swap Cards today!  We just love her pretty Christmas Tree!  Joey said that she was able to hand cut 4 of these tree’s at once with her trusty Tim Holtz’ scissors!  Thanks for the tip Joey…you did us proud!

Kris B. from Arizona had her cards dropped off this morning!  We really like the way she layered her Holiday Style printed papers and scalloped the edge of her stamped sentiment!  Way to go Kris!

We’ve added global america and off the wall. Check out which cardstock colors we suggest you use.

Our first set of 10 cards has arrived!  Thank you Davina N. of New York for sending in your lovely HOLIDAY STYLE cards in so promptly.  We are all so impressed with all the work you put into your festive Christmas Card.  So many cute little die cuts made from Bazzill printed papers and cardstock!  Well done Davina!

If you act very quickly you can still join the Holiday Style Card Swap!

If you live in the Phoenix area, be sure to watch Channel 12 News tonight at 10 p.m. to see the latest update on Stephen. He is the boy who has made it his goal to send a thank you card to every U.S. troop overseas. So far Stephen and his supporters have created 140,000 cards and plan to send the cards in late November. The television station visited Creative Escape in August and filmed the segment with Doug Jones, Bazzill’s owner, Stephen’s family and many of the event guests who sat down to lend a hand!

Doug Jones, owner of Bazzill Basics Paper listens while Stephen Goodman says thank you to guests at Creative Escape for helping make cards for the troops, while his grandfather, Manuel Noriega, and scrapbook artist, Heidi Swapp, stand nearby.

The talented Susan Mast works for Bazzill now. We accidentally stole her from Scrapbooks, Etc. and we are lucky it didn’t cause a divorce! Anyway, now that we have Susan so close by we have the luxury of seeing more of her talents first hand. She has always been great at sharing her creations but it is more fun to take a peek with her standing nearby.

Susan is skilled at creating her own die-cuts. This time she used the Bazzill Holiday Style patterned paper as her inspiration and included a little surprise for the lucky recipient inside the card. You could do this too!
