february swap cards
Most every month I swap cards with my upline, downline and sideline demonstrators and the cards are lovely and inspirational and i love to share them with you all!
We did not swap in March and I am just getting around to photographing and posting the February cards I received.
This first card by Carol S. features the new Online Exclusive Simply Zinnias suite of products. She used the stamps, coordinating DSP, lovely Zinnias 3D Embossing Folder, and the coordinating Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. It’s probably difficult to see in the photo but she adhered the DSP to the Basic White layer first and then embossed the entire thing so all three of the pieces of paper are embossed – a subtle and striking touch!
Maria W’s swap card used the Excellent Eggs Bundle of products and the Lighter Than Air DSP, blends to color in the smaller egg images, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots and Bakers Twine. Such a cute gate-fold Easter card!
Denise W organizes the swap each month and this is her swap card featuring the Easter Bunny stamp set, the Cane Weave Embossing Folder, and the Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems. She colored in the images with assorted Stampin’ Blends and the DSP is Delightfully Eclectic.
This next swap card from Ginger S used the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set, colored with Stampin’ Blends and Blending brushes, Wink of Stella and accented with Iridescent Pearls and the Faux Leather Trim.
Jeanna T’s swap card used the Hello Ladybug stamp set and the Ladybug Builder punch which are both on the Last Chance list! I love the way she punched the wings twice in Lemon Lolly cardstock and popped up the second set to give the wings depth and dimension!
Veronica S’s swap card uses the retiring Bee Mine DSP and the sweetly scripted sentiment set from the newest Online Exclusives release! Such a great sentiment set – you need to check out this one!
Kathi D’s swap card uses the new Online Exclusive Fluffiest Friends stamp set, the soon to be retiring Just Kidding DSP and the also retiring stitched with Whimsy dies. Too cute I love the B side of this DSP so versatile!
My downline Robyn designed this cute Bird’s Eye View card in Granny Apple Green cardstock and ink with the Black and Vanilla Large Check ribbon, the 2 3/8″ circle punch and blending brush to shade the circle! Love these little birds – aren’t they so cute!
Furriest Friends makes another appearance this time with the bear stamp in Judith P’s swap card she used the Earthen Textures DSP as the background and the Timber 3D embossing folder on Copper Clay cardstock.
Lori V’s card features the Filled with Happiness mini catalog stamp set which is also on the last chance list and punched and colored in the stamps center image. The Modern Oval punch will be continuing in the upcoming catalog!
Lyn L’s swap card uses a monochromatic take on the Stippled Roses stamp set in Blueberry Bushel on Boho Blue cardstock – simple and elegant!
Susan W’s WIld Fern swap card in delightful in tones of Lost Lagoon using the Perennial Lavender DSP and the Lost Lagoon Bordered ribbon. The stamp set and the DSP will be in the new catalog but the ribbon will be retiring!
The last card to arrive was a sweet one using the Adoring Hearts bundle from the current mini catalog from Jennie T. This bundle has a hybrid embossing folder that also cuts out the hearts at the same time – this will be an encore! product and will still be available in the new catalog but this will be the last few weeks to get the 10% discount on the bundle if you like it all! They will all be available with the release of the new catalog but the bundle pricing goes away! The current hostess code is 3HZGPJSS if you want this or any of the items on the Last Chance List! get them before they are gone!
Hope that these cards inspired you to go and create some art work of your own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
