Had an awesome time last night at the “Impress Me! Team Quarterly Meeting” at my home. I loved seeing you all and wish that more of you could have attended.
I have a gift in the mail for my ‘long distance’ team members, so keep an eye out for it!
The theme this time was the Sizzix XL dies and we made a pop up Christmas Card with the Sizzix Bigz XL Die “Pop Up Look Here” Die and the new mini catalog set ‘Delightful Decorations’ with *matching* punch!!!
On the pop up card, I also used our new snowflake punch as well as the Sizzix ‘Textured Impressions Embossing Folder’ “Finial Press on the cover and inside layers. CLICK HERE for the video tutorial on how to make a pop up card using the Sizzix XL Die ‘Pop Up Look Here’..

In keeping with the ’3D Die’ themed meeting, my daughter, Elizabeth (11 yrs. old) did her first demonstration (as an official ‘demonstrator-in-training’) of how to assemble the Sizzix XL pop up die ‘O Christmas Tree’ (something her mother has not quite mastered yet).
We also made a Thanksgiving card with the new ‘Gifts of the Season and exciting new designer paper ‘Autumn Meadows,’ that I will be sharing in my next post.
It was wonderful seeing everyone… thanks for the sharing from all those who demo’d their latest creations and got a gift from me for their ‘Five Minutes of Fame’!
Mark your calendar for Thurs., January 28th at 7:00 pm… but be on the lookout for a Shoebox Swap before that date!

Lynda's pop up card
Each attendee made 4 samples of 5 designs (shown above). So, in total the gals made 140 cards in just about two hours… talk about quick! And I did break out a small bottle of wine to celebrate/brag at my husband’s superior wine making abilities… no guzzling, just a ‘tasting’ if they wished to (hey, am I a ‘full service’ demo or what… class and wine tasting!).
he bear is stamped on Whisper White cardstock and the bow is white taffeta (109070, $6.95 for 10 yards) held on with glue dots.
