Here's one of the six swaps that I have been working on in the last couple of weeks. I made this card for a Occasions Mini swap that Britta hosted on SCS. (HI Britta!)
The swaps I've been in have ranged from 8 cards to 18 cards. For this swap, I needed to make 10 cards. Check out those hearts. First I stamped it on Whisper White with Basic Black. Then I stamped it on Real Red also with Basic Black. Then I cut them out. I cut out 40 hearts! I would buy a punch that fit this in a heartbeat. *chuckle* Get it? Heartbeat? tee hee
The products in the Occasions Mini are available from March 1 - May 31. Be sure to come back on March 1. I'll post a link to the Occasions Mini at that time.
For this swap, I made a card featuring the stamp set "Full of Life". It is a 7 stamp set. It is a sayings set, meaning there are only sayings and no images. I like this set. The fonts in each saying are different for certain words with bold, italics, etc. Here are the sayings in this set:
- Thanks ... not just for the BIG things you do, but all the wonderful little things too!
- A BEST FRIEND is someone who brings out the BEST in YOU.
- If at FIRST you do succeed, try not to look ASTONISHED.
- Once in a while, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of ORDINARY life, Love gives us a FAIRYTALE.
- Life is what HAPPENS to you while you're BUSY making other plans. ~John Lennon
- May every part of your BIRTHDAY have happy in it!
- a new HAND to hold, a new heart to LOVE, a new LIFE to lead.
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Full of Life, Always (hearts), Baroque Motifs
Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Ribbon: Basic Black Grosgrain
