Swaps – Page 5 – Stampin' With Candice

Marvelous Monday 2-23-09

This gorgeous card is another beautiful project created by my talented up-line Mindy. This was one of the cards from our shoebox swap a couple of weeks ago.

I love how she used the glitter to make the flowers really stand out. One of my other favorite about this card is kind of hard to see, but down at the bottom we used the new Eyelet Border Punch just once and then put paper behind it. I really loved this look.

Freewheeling Friday 2-20-09

This wheel is retired but I just love this card and had to show it to you. This card is so simple but I love it. First she wheeled the butterflies and then she colored them in.

thanks-butterfiles-card My favorite part is that afterwards she covered the entire wheeled section with VersMark® pad and then iridescent ice embossing powder. I love how it sparkles. I think it’s such a great card. I received this card in a swap, but it didn’t have a name, sorry.

104832 Black Gingham Ribbon $7.50

Thrifty Thursday 2-19-09

I got this card in a swap and just fell in love with it. It’s so simple yet just has that wow factor. I’m not sure who it was created by she just had an e-mail address so I can’t give proper credit sorry. I love how she did the towels on a little towel bar.

I think this card is a great card for Thrifty Thursday because it’s quick and easy to produce. Plus it’s so easy to do in many different colors. It would make a great bridal shower card or wedding gift card. You could make the card the same colors as their wedding colors or if you know their bathroom colors that would be really cute. Then you could through in some matching towels and have a cute gift that matches. How fun is that.

So anyway here is what she used:
115100 Together Forever $22.95
#109034 Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon $4.95 (You could do any color)
#104336 Silver Brads (200) $6.95
#100712 Brushed Silver Paper $7.95
101227 1/16″ Circle Punch $8.95

Colors used: Black, White, Real Red (you could choose any color)

Swapping Saturday 2-14-09

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today I thought I would share some of the other Valentine’s Day cards that I’ve made or gotten from swaps. Hope you enjoy. Here are just 2. You can click here to see more.

I really like this card. I love how she used the hearts for balloons. This card was created by Naomi Keeling. You can check out more of her stuff at: www.stampwithnaomi.blogspot.com

This beautiful card was created by Kimberly Anderson. I think it was for my big shot swap. Check out all the beautiful detail. What I love about this card is it’s all the big shot so it looks complicated but the cutting part was easy.

Here’s a close up of the bird and flowers. I love the glitter.
