More swap possiblities

I am still trying to decide what my swaps will be. I need some simple ones that I can make a bunch of but I also need two sets of ten that are wow swaps for one I signed up for at regionals. So here is one of the simpler ones that I am thinking of doing.

Stamps: Big Birthday Candle

Ink: Black

CS: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore, Yo Yo Yellow, Rainbow Sherbet

Other: Ribbon

Swap card

I am starting to make swap cards for the upcoming Stampin' Up! regional in April. This is one that I think I will do. My scanner certainly dosn't do well with colors. I think I will have to start learning how to use my camera instead. Anyway, here is the card. What do you think? Good enough to swap?

Stamps: Branch Out

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Rose Red

CS: Always Artichoke, Kraft

Other: Always Artichoke Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Cutter Kit

Another Guy card

This is a birthday card with the great new stamp set And Many Mower. I am also showing a picture of the inside. I used to leave my cards blank inside so people could write whatever they wanted but I have found that most wanted the inside pretty too so that's what I have been doing with them lately.

This new textured designer paper from Stampin' Up! is awesome. It is much heavier than the normal patterned paper and just slightly textured. All items by Stampin' Up! (except the white cardstock)

Oh and a Happy Saint Patricks Day!!

Stamps: And Many Mower

Ink: black, Chocolate Chip

CS: Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, To the Nines Designer, Nena Solar White

Baby Cards

There are three women where I work that are pregnant right now. My baby card supply is low so I made up a bunch this weekend. I stopped at JoAnn's to pick up some adhesive and this cute stamp somehow made its way into my basket. :)

And Many Mower

Such a cute stamp set. This will be out in the Occations Mini Catalog starting on April 1st. It is a great set for guy cards which everyone seems to have trouble with. Here is the first card I made with it. All supplies by Stampin' Up! unless specified.

Whipper Snapper Stamps

This is a set from Whipper Snapper by Shelly Somiskey called Freindship Blooms. Very cute set with lots of little images. I am still on an Easter card kick. Maybe by next week I will decide to design something else. :) I don't know if you can see but the pink background is dry embossed with the Big Shot template. Click on the picture to make it larger.
