Picture Perfect Framed Floral





















This elegant and simple swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Nancy Endwright. I love the color combo. I have some of the same color scheme on my blog!

Nancy was so kind, she sent it to me as an extra when she found out I was trying to fill up my display boards for my first Sale-a-bration Open House here in Le Mars launching my business here on the new home front. Stampers are just the nicest people you will ever meet; don't you agree?

I have listed most of the supplies Nancy used creating her card below. Click any of the images below to visit my 24/7 online store and purchase what you need to create this lovely card, today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Vivid Dream Without Fear





















This vivid swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Teri Bean. I like how bright and realistic it looks and I absolutely love the sentiment!

I thought that I should explain a little bit about this stamp set...

  • It is a a stamp set that can be used for multi-step images (like above)
What does this mean? It means that each layer of the image is a separate stamp making it easy to layer different colors or, layer the same color multiple times for added depth.

  • Do I have to use every stamp to layer?
The answer to that is, no! That is one of the awesome things about this stamp set. For example; you can pick one stamp (let's say with minimal details) and stamp it tone-on-tone (same color of ink to same color of card stock) to create a beautiful, subtle background for your card. 

Stampin' Up! provided a great video showing how to use the layers and to get them to line up and I am sharing it for you here:

A Picture Perfect Thank You





















This pretty swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Debra Brown. I really don't think this picture does the color combination of Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder, and Elegant Eggplant on the roses justice. It's way prettier in real life. You will just have to try this color combo yourself so you can see it!

Not Just Any Hole in the Wall!

Not Just Any Hole in the Wall

























Isn't this card absolutely stunning? This Picture Perfect swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Mary Wesche. I love everything about it but if I had to pick my favorite thing it would be the subtle roses in the background on the brick wall. But then again, I also love how she created a window in the brick to highlight the flower which also in return highlights the hummingbird. Not only is the stamp set called Picture Perfect, one could also say that this card is picture perfect!

For your convenience, I have provided a list of most of the supplies that Mary used creating this very lovely card.

Helping Me Grow Shirt Fold Card

This pretty card is a swap created by fellow demonstrator, Kay Capps. It has a unique look with out too much effort; my kind of card! (I claim to be a lazy stamper!) This is called a shirt fold card and is fairly simple and straightforward:


  • Cut your designer series paper down the center
  • Fold back the each side to create the "collar"

Easy, right? Now go make one!

For your convenience I have listed most of the supplies that Kay used in creating her card. Clicking any of the images below will take you to my 24/7 online store where you may purchase the supplies you need to create your own shirt fold card. Thank you so much for stopping by!
