my critter swap card – a fun z fold card

My swap card for the Critter Swap used the Brilliant Wings dies. My critter a beautiful butterfly die in white stands out on the decorative mask created panels!

Measurements:
Pacific Point 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and

Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ cut in half after
decorating the panel with the decorative
mask.
2″ x 5 1/4″ for the inside panel

The Artistic Mix Decorative Mask was used to make the creative background. Taping the mask down, I used the Blending Brushes in Bermuda Bay ink around the edges and getting lighter in the center. Another Blending Brush for the Pacific Point ink around the edges.
Cut the decorative mask panel in half at 2 1/8″ x 5 1/4″.
Score the Pacific Point base card, at 4 1/4″ and 2 1/8″.
Adhere the Decorative Mask panel to either side of the closed Z fold card.
Adhere a butterfly die cut on the upper left hand corner of the front left panel.
Stamp a sentiment on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock then die cut with a small circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.
Pop up the sentiment focal piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a ribbon around the front panel.
Add new iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the card.
Add the Basic White cardstock 2 1/8″ x 5 1/4″ to the left inside of the card.

critter card swap

by | Jul 4, 2022 | card samples

This month’s swap is a critter card swap – any animals or insects in the current catalogs, hence critters! I don’t usually have a lot of “critter” stamps so mine was a butterfly card which I will post Wednesday!

Happy Fourth of July to all, we are finishing getting settled and entertaining our first guests in our new home as my youngest son hosts a week long graduation celebration with eight good friends. We are enjoying all the beautiful weather and watersports!

My first featured swap card from a New York demonstrator, Kathi D. and she used Perched in a Tree Bundle from the new mini catalog and thank you for your patience my customer catalogs are on their way – a little late due to my move.

The next card is a perfect example of stamps versatility this card uses the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set but no hedgehogs! Lynn L. also used the deer stamp from the Grassy Grove bundle.
Here is another swap sample with the Grassy Grove by Peggy N. with a triple fold card – the next two photos show the card closed and opened!
This card uses Glad We’re Friends stamp set and the Tea Boutique DSP by Carol Ann A.
The swap card by Marcy W. used the Dragonfly Garden and the Pretty Prints DSP.
I love this cute punch bundle – Sweet Songbird makes such a cute swap card!
Thanks to Denise W for hostessing these swaps every month such great ideas!
Her swap card is my favorite using A Wish and A Fish!
Swap are such a great source of inspiration! Hope you are continuing to be inspired to create art of your own. Glad to be unpacked enough to be getting back to stamping!

Happy Stampin’
