Swap Cards

Hello there, happy February. I participated in a swap a couple of months ago, hosted by CTMH sister Lisa A. I finally received the other cards and wanted to share our creations with you.

It was a great swap idea...Lisa sent paper and embellishments to each participant, and we would make a card with what she sent and return them to her. There were 6 participants per round, but we only made 5 cards (we didn't receive our own back).

I participated in 5 rounds.

Round 1

Here's the card I sent.

I received the green and blue piece of B&T paper, the ricrac and chipboard flower.

I used black embossing powder on vellum, and attached it with Cranberry brads. I stamped the frog, and clear embossed it.

Here are the 5 cards I received (they were sent the same items I was). We could add to the paper and other items if we wanted, but had to use the original pieces somewhere on the card.

Because so much time had passed, and I hadn't thought about it, I didn't write down the names of the girls who were in the swap with me. When I get that information I'll post it.

The other ladies in the swap were:

Twyla Norris,

(still getting the info.)

Round 2

Here's the card I sent.

We received the ribbon, 2 B&T Paper pieces and the brad.

It sure was a lot of fun! I couldn't wait to see what the other ladies had created with what we received. I got alot of good ideas from the cards they made. Great job ladies!

Sorry about not posting the recipes, there was a lot to photograph, and get ready to upload for this one and I just wanted to get it posted. BUT, if you have any questions about what I did or what I used, feel free to ask, and I'll let you know.

Enjoy,
