Regional Swaps

As promised here are my swaps that I made to exchange with fellow demos. I actually made 4 different cards:

 

   

   I didn't want to get bored stamping the same card (I made over 30 cards) so I used different colors and stamps. I just fell in love with this technique (Seamless Tier / Triple Stamping) a couple months ago. The Black & White card is my absolute favorite, it turned out great.

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Stamp Set: Papaya Collage, Friendly Phrases
Ink: Basic Black, Sahara Sand
Embellishments:Basic Black 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Punch Art Fishing Vest

So my nephew turned 8 this month and I needed to make him a Birthday Card. My nephew is a typical 8 year old and LOVES fishing, the squishier the better! I saw  the perfect card for him on Stampin Connection (a Demo only website)  done by Janis Pfost, so I case'd her card. Janis drew some elements on the card and I decided to do punch art instead of drawing some of the elements.

Here is Ethan's card:

The card was created with the following:

• Cardstock: Sahara Sand,Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise
• Ink: Soft Suede, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise
• Stamp Sets: Open Sea (the anchor)
• Tools: 1 in Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, 2 3/8 Scallop Punch, Big Shot, Buttons #5        Sizzlets
• Embellishments: Whisper White Baker's Twine

Easter Lollipop Holders

I made these darling little treats for the children at our Easter Dinner.

I used a piece of Very Vanilla 6 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches. I scored at 2 1/2 and 4 inches. Cute some eggs out of Designer Series Paper with the small oval punch. I cut a small banner out of Very Vanilla, sponged the edges with Wisteria Wonder and used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment. All of these supplies can be purchased from my store.
