CASE'd Card

Here's the card swap that I just had to CASE. I thought it would be a great card for my Stamp-A-Stack class. This swap (blue card with the cute dress) is from Robin Castagnola. I used Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper and the Eastern Blooms stamp set. I got the 2 colors onto the stamp by first ining the stamp in the Kiwi Kiss ink pad, then I used a cotton swab to remove the ink from the flowers. Last, I used my Rose Red Stampin' Write Marder to color onto the flowers...such a pretty effect. Isn't the rhinestone brad cute?! I've been using my Pretties Kit quite a bit lately...I'm out of the flowers though! The Kiwi Kiss cardstock was embossed with the Texturz Plates...it's so hard not to use those now! :)

More Woo Hoo Swaps

Here are some more of the great swaps I received this weekend, along with the pink thank you card that Michelle gave me for speaking at the meeting. Enjoy!

Woo Hoo for Swaps!

Aren't these great?! I was so happy to get such wonderful swaps from so many talented stampers this weekend. I've already CASE'd one that I'll post later. :) Click on photo too see more great detail and the names of these stampers...didn't get a name for the white card though.

Swaps for Downline Meeting

I didn't think I would get around to making swaps for the "Spaghetti Factory" meeting tomorrow that my #1 upline, Sandy Hancock, puts on...but I cranked out all 31 yesterday. I gave in and ordered the scallop square punch that coordinates perfectly with the free set, Say It With Scallops, that we got at convention. The cardstock is Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla. I used Whisper White Craft ink against the Chocolate Chip cardstock and the flowers were stamped in Regal Rose. I had just enough pink ribbon to make these cards...love that! I can't wait to get my swaps tomorrow...I'm hoping and guessing there will be some great swaps that use the Big Shot!!!
