I like the simplicity of today's card as it makes it so duplicatable with any product in my stash. Kind of like the "Campbell's Soup" recipes. Add Cream of anything soup and you've got a meal in a jif. The recipe for this card is: 1 dry embossed layer, 4 pieces of scrap patterned paper set "higgly piggly" on the front, add a ribbon or die cut and finish off with a greeting on a punched or die cut layer; sprinkle with embellishments "to taste". It works, right? Enjoy!
And here's my swap card from last weekend featuring the Darling Dinos Bundle. My first real play with it! I know Allistair will love this. I couldn't stop with the layers and kept adding and adding until finally this result. the front flap flips open to reveal a message on the inside as well.
Today's card was designed by Dawn for the Shoebox Swap and was a real joy to put together! Got me out of my comfort zone with some small stamps in various colours to create the floral scenes top and bottom of the basic white layer. If you try this, stamp the greeting first to ensure you've got lots of space for it. This is from the Birthday Celebration we used for my January Avid Stampers Class but wow - this card is a completely different take on that bundle. Have a great day!
Here's the inside of a fun pop up card Holly designed for the Shoebox Swap. It's interacive! The front flap drops down (and tucks in under the Moody Mauve cardstock flap at the top) to reveal the two mugs. I'll miss Moody Mauve which has been a soft and earthy colour in the palette to play with these past two years. Maybe it will come back in a future colour refresh! Enjoy!
What a pretty Thank you card Jane designed for us to make at the Shoebox Swap! This paper is all kinds of florals and food - reminding me to head up our Farmer's Market once in a while. We fussy cut the bouquet, stamped the greeting and did the assembly in a snap! Another wonderful way to use up your scraps by trimming to 1"squares and layering them around a larger one with your greeting. Enjoy!
