praying-for-youThis was another card from our Shoebox swap.  This card is actually the one that one.  I think it is so pretty.  I love how she put the little beads on the flowers.  I’m sorry I can’t think of her name right now.  I’ll post it when I remember it.  I think it is so pretty now.  I love the stamp set.

birthday-wishes-flowersThis 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.

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.

hugs-kisses-heart-cardI 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

love-bird-sparklyThis 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.

love-sparkly-bird-close

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

Time for swaps again and I’m still wishing I knew who it was.  I forgot to say one other thing as to why a lot of these cards don’t have names.  When we go to the local meetings we usually do full cards instead of card fronts like at convention.  This way we can actually use the card.  However because of this we often don’t put our name directly on the card.  Some will include a business card or the card might have a sticky note with the name, but they often get lost or removed.  That’s why I don’t know who to give the proper credit to.

s-split-treesI really love this card and the way that she stamped the trees and then cut them apart.  I just think it is a really neat look.  I also really liked how she put on the ribbon.  It’s unique and different than the traditional knot that most people do (including myself).  I think it’s a beautiful card.

Here is another great card from Brandi’s meeting.  Once again I really wish I knew who made it.  I want to say that it was Chantia, but I could be wrong.  I do need to redeem myself a little here.  I had a display at the meeting so between setting it up and asking questions I really didn’t get to look at the swaps people were giving me.  Otherwise I would probably know who gave them to me.  At least I might know some of them.  Please if anyone does know I’d love some help to give them proper credit.

cupcake-wheelAnyway I just love this card.  It uses the cupcake wheel.  I love the picture because you can actually see the sparkle on it.  I believe she used dazzling diamonds glitter.

This is a really fun wheel because it’s a line image instead of a bold image like alot of the wheels.  Which allows you to color it and really make it your own.  This is a really simple card but I think it’s so cute and she did a great job.
