Remaining Shoebox Swaps

Here are the remaining shoebox swaps (that I completed). There is one more, but I haven't finished it yet. And I haven't taken any pictures of my swap. I will sometime and post them.

The first one is from Shelly and she used the Manhattan Flower Impressionz plate, cut it out and then rubbed ink over it.

The other one that I have for you is from Sue and uses the Autumn Days stamp set.

I see have a couple of other cards to share with you that were made during retreat, so stay tuned!

Another LNS Challenge - Embossing

This week's challenging is embossing of any kind. It also just happens that I just finished up a couple of swap samples for a Trio of Textures challenge. This required three different textures on the card. The first one I did used textured cardstock, texturz plate and crystal effects. I also used this card as a baby girl card in another swap. The stamp set is Nursery Necessities. Paper and ink are So Saffron, Cameo Coral and Rose Red.

The second sample uses the Manhattan Embossing plate, Texturz plate, and crystal effects. Paper is Bella Rose DSP, Riding Hood Red, Pink Piroquette, and Whisper White. Also used is the white organza ribbon, Top Note die, and circle punches. The Stamp Set is Love You Much.











I am going out of town this weekend and I don't know if I will have internet access, so there might not be any more updates the rest of this week. Next week I think I'm going to try something new and feature a stamp set each week. We'll see how that goes.

More Samples as Promised

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all those that stop by on a regular basis and I will try harder to keep my post more up to date. I guess I didn't realize that I actually had followers! Thanks to all of you!!

Here are a couple more cards that I made for some SCS swaps. Lately, I've been signing up for all the swaps I think I can do, it's been fun and really getting me to stamp on a more regular basis.



The materials used here were Whisper White, Certainly Celery, and Regal Rose cardstock, Print Patterns II (hostess set), Manhattan Flower Texture plate, Fifth Ave Floral stamp set, Organza ribbon and punches.


This one was for a dormant list spot and I used Seasons of Joy stamp set to make a non-Christmas card. I did a Stamps in the Mail club with this set and this is a CASE of one of the cards that I created for that. Maybe I will get around to posting the other projects from that. The other supplies were Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Cameo Coral, Rose Red and Basic Black cardstock, Rose Red and Old Olive ink, brads, and punches.

Finally, here is a small project that I made using a template from SplitCoast and the Circle Sissors Plus. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet, but I included a picture when it's closed and another of it opened.



I'm off now to have lunch with my sister and then spend the rest of the day stamping and scrapbooking. I will be spending most of the time working on the Thank You notes that are posted here (I have 350 to make in about 20 days now), but do hope to get some stamping done too, because I have a few more swaps to fulfill yet. I will try to post more tomorrow.
