Live with purpose. Create with passion.
This Shoebox swap card was prepared by Barb D. It used the DD daisy set that is retired. We Foux stitched on the pixie pink card stock then on the white we stamped the small daisy in pixie and purple (I do not know the correct color). Next the daisy was stamped again in both colors and a black border added. The stems were stamped on Celery with black ink, on my Celery piece I chose to put three black brads using my new piercing template. This was another fun card this week, thanks Barb!
This is another shoebox swap card from this week, this one is by Amy D. (Thank you Amy for a great card!) I have had this set for years, it was originally purchased to do a border in our master Bedroom but I have used it on many cards. I will try and find a photo of the border, it was really cool. This is how she had it set out for us: Moose stamped on Vanilla in CC and twine was taped to the back of the vanilla, then this was mounted on CC paper. Next the garden green was stamped in CC using the pine branch and that was mounted on CC paper. All pieces were mounted to vanilla card stock.
This is one of the cards made last night at the shoebox swap. Barb's Sister is in town and this was her swap card, I love it. This is how we made it: first I used Lexicon of Love with Temp. Turquoise on white card stock. Then this was punched out so the main word was centered in the square. Next I used the tag corner punch on the turquoise card stock. The squares were mounted on the tag then using the word window punch on Cool Caribbean and mounted that to the tag with a white square brad. The three tags were mounted on Cool Caribbean with pop dots and Celebrate was stamped in Turquoise. Flowers were punched using the spring Bouquet flower punch and mounted with a pop dot the centers were made with SU gel pen. Next I mounted the cool Caribbean front to Turquoise and placed it on a card. Thanks for a great card! In the next few days I will post more.
