Swaps, Swaps and More Swaps!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I already knew that Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are a very talented bunch, but it's somewhat overwhelming when I have their AMAZING creations in my hands, or all over my desk, as was the case before writing this post!

This is post is image heavy, so grab a beverage of choice and marvel with me at the stunning creations...

This was double sided, with a cookie in the other pocket

3D creations using the Envelope Punch Board, Tag Topper punches and more. The little book on the bottom right holds a tiny stack of post it notes, as does the box second from right on the top row...

Tags, bookmarks and gift holders. The gift holder with "Be you" on in the top row has a seed packet in. The Owl Builder bookmark on the far right is double sided and secured with tiny magnets...

Card toppers...

Card fronts...

Some of my favorite stamp sets have been used, including Butterfly Basics, Kinda Eclectic and Petal Potpourri...

The design top right is created using the beautiful new In Colors and one of the new stamp sets, as does the flower in the center of the bottom row...

The baby card above is a slider card...

I'll be back on Friday with a sneak peek creation, the make and take I created at Telford, so I hope you'll join me then.

Hugs,
Em

Word Art Week ~ Thanks So Very Much

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

We've made it to Thursday and this week that means it's the fourth day of Word Art Week here. If you've missed any of the cards so far, click on the days and they will open in another tab... Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

For today's card I've teamed a sentiment from the Simply Wonderful stamp set with a panel of one of the papers from the Best Year Ever DSP from Stampin' Up!. Both are available FREE during Sale-A-Bration when you spend £45 or more. Add in a touch of color from my beloved Blendies, a favorite punch and a NBUS (never before used schtuff) punch and you get this delightful and quick CAS card...

Card: Whisper White (folded card blank and extra snippets) and Best Year Ever DSP
Ink: Smoky Slate
Markers: Bermuda Bay Blendabilities
Stamp set: Simply Wonderful
Tools: Decorative Label and Bow Builder punches, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin' Dimensionals

Cut and fold the card base from Whisper White card.
Cut panel of Best Year Ever DSP (I cut mine ¼" smaller than the card base) and attach to base.
Stamp sentiment from the Simply Wonderful Stamp set onto Whisper White in Smoky Slate ink. Color the "thanks" with Bermuda Bay blendie marker (I used the medium shade). Punch out with the Decorative Label punch and pop up onto card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Punch the Bow Builder elements twice from Whisper White card and assemble using Mini Glue Dots. Attach to card using a couple more Mini Glue Dots

Challenges...

#57 Clean and Quick at CYCI (second entry)
#134 Monochrome at CASology
#164 at Pixie's Snippets Playground
