#stampinup #faithfulinkspirations #onstage2017 I really like to participate in organized swaps. It takes the “hecticity” out of the swapping process. You don’t have to run around like a maniac trying to find more people to swap with. And it takes the guesswork out of swap creation–how many should I make? One year I made 150 swaps. Not kidding! This time I made 13–10 for the organized swap, 1 for each of my downline members who attended with me, and one to keep as a sample for myself. Done and done.
And I got back 10 wonderful swap cards in return–designs that I definitely wouldn’t have come up with on my own! Each one its own work of art. Like this card I received from Jackie Walker in Florida.
Jackie used the gorgeous Rose Garden Thinlits to cut the negative rose image from a 3-3/4″ by 5″ Whisper White panel. She used the Fine-Tip Glue pen to adhere the detailed rose to a 3-7/8″ by 5-1/8″ Flirty Flamingo mat. She wrapped a length of Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon around the Whisper White panel before adhering it to the Flirty Flamingo mat with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Jackie then adhered this assembly to a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base, cut lengthwise.
Next, Jackie stamped a sentiment from the “Wetlands” set in Basic Black Archival Ink onto a Whisper White scrap. She cut this out with the label framelit from the Rose Garden Thinlits. She sponged a bit of Flirty Flamingo Ink around the edges before adhering it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
So pretty, right! I’m going to have to try this–all you’d have to do is change out the sentiments to make a stack of all occasion cards. The “Rose Garden” stamp set matches the framelits that Jackie used and it contains some great sentiments.
