When we were in the planning stages for going to Convention, Catherine and Lesley suggested we do a "shoebox" swap on the Friday night.
That means that we each designed a card that had to be easy to demonstrate and used only current products. We brought all the materials ready to go. There were 12 of us in the swap. We had to complete 6 of our own cards and therefore we only really made 6 of the cards we came home with. That's ok - the night was really about visiting and creating together.
Here are the cards we made. They were all so different but I love them all!
 |
This was Lesley's card. It showcases the set "Everything Eleanor" and the Comfort Cafe DSP. |
 |
This was Claudette's card. It uses the Hostess set called "Happy You" and the Floral District DSP. |
 |
This was my card. I wanted to showcase the Dahlias, along with the new stamp set called "Embellished Events". |
 |
This was Gisele's card. I'm so glad I have a start on my Christmas cards! She used the set "Snow Much Fun". |
 |
This was Sherri's card. You may not be able to see the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the wreath, but it's there. She used the stamp set "Winter Memories" that is in the upcoming Mini Catalogue. |
 |
This is Stacey's card. She used a butterfly from "Papillon Potpourri" and the coordinating punch. |
 |
This is Kari's card. She used the Doily Sizzlit and the set "Bootiful Occasions". |
 |
This is Sara's Card. It uses the new single stamp called "Two by Two". |
 |
This is Dayna's card. She designed a unique card using the "Papillon Potpourri" stamp set and co-ordinating punch. The full card is actually "plaque-style" and the part that opens is the small white rectangle with the corner tucked under the butterfly. |
 |
This is Catherine's card. It uses the new "Blooming with Kindness" set. We used the Colour Spritzer on the card. It's such a fun tool! |
 |
This is Adele's card. It features the stamp set "Fabulous Florets" and the new Apothecary Accents Framelits.
I just realized that I don't have a picture of Tami's card. I will have to take one and add it to this entry later. It was a beautiful card!
Hope you enjoyed seeing what we made. I'll have to post our gift swaps in another post.
