Swapping

I always think of swapping like a crafters version of baseball card trading.  I have cards that I want to trade (or swap) for someone else's card.  The result is I come home with a completely different set of cards than what I left with!

I am heading to the Stampin' Up! convention in two days (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk) and am bringing some swaps.  I ended up with 130 swaps of various types.  In addition to making duplicates of some of the cards I made for our display board (see my last two posts), I made some original swaps.  Here's my lineup:

I love this "Friends Who Know" stamp set, stamped with Staz on white ink and basic gray card stock.  Confetti Celebration DSP works great with it!  

Moonlight DSP, Watercolor Wonder washi tape and the "Love Who You Are" stamp set

Blended Bloom painted with an aqua painter and Blackberry Bliss ink.  Moonlight DSP completes the mosaic pattern background.

Circle Flip card using Park Lane DSP and the "Project Life Remember This" stamp set

I love shaker frames!  Gold sequin trim was used in the shaker frame along with Gold Soiree DSP and "Mosaic Madness" stamp set.

The banner punch is so handy to make scraps of paper look intentional!  The paper is Park Lane and Fancy Foil designer vellum and I've used the "Fast Friends" and "Show and Tell" stamp sets.

I have a 3D swap that I've organized as well.  I made pendants using modge podge and the Gold Soiree paper.  Then, I made this darling little box with Whisper White DSP, the Gold Soiree paper, gold sequin trim, and "A Round Array" stamp set.
