Stampin' Up cards

Holiday cards past, from Stampin' Up class in maybe 2011 or so! I think maybe these were all from the same year - I know we did a thing where you made like 20 cards with four or five different designs.
This one was made with one very large stamp, and an improvised giant stamp pad made from baby wipes

Glittered trees - this was supposed to have green ribbon, but I kept forgetting to put it on and I finally decided I liked it fine without it - I believe the stamp is from the "Lovely As A Tree" set. (I am just a CAS girl at heart. Why do you need the ribbon here, that's my thought!)

Embossed vellum (this one does need the ribbon, I admit). We made these in several colors and they were all really pretty.

Twinkle lights with some kind of shard glitter (I remember these being a big pain to make, because putting all the little pieces together was frustrating.)

tiny tree!

Card not sent!

Here's my super-simple card idea from last year that I didn't actually send:
The idea was that it was deliberately wonky rather than perfectly round, but I didn't have it put together right here, I think. (Added: what I mean is that the circle-within a circle is offset - two perfectly-round circles made with dies, but deliberately not perfectly centered within one another - and then I think I also offset the embossing to match.) I do think this is cute, but by the time I decided that, it was too close to Christmas to bother, and instead I just sent (non-handmade) New Year's cards. So I may resurrect this idea again later. (This was all stuff I had. I think the green paper was something from Paper Source. The stamp is from a Simon Says Stamp kit - originally I said "a year or two ago" but actually it was 2015, if you follow the link! The cute dotted paper was from a pad I had bought at some point, not from that same kit.)

(I'm taking the onlinecardclasses.com class - again - so hopefully I'll have something to show later on! I am late getting started, though.)
