A Touch of Spring: My Forsythia-Inspired Swap Card

One of my favorite things about being part of a stamping community is swapping cards! My team recently did a swap, and it was so much fun to see everyone’s creativity come to life. Our long-distance team members mailed in their swaps, while the local stampers and I got together to trade them in person. There’s something so inspiring about seeing the different styles, techniques, and ideas everyone brings to the table!

For my swap card, I designed a bright and cheerful spring card using the Delightful Wishes bundle and Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. I wanted to capture the beauty of forsythia blooms, which always remind me of home. I grew up with a forsythia bush in my backyard, and in my current house, I loved my neighbor’s forsythia for years—until they cut it down! I’m seriously considering planting one of my own because nothing says "spring is here" quite like those
yellow blossoms.

Swapping cards is such a great way to get fresh inspiration, connect with other stampers, and add some gorgeous new designs to your collection. Have you ever participated in a card swap? I’d love to hear about your experience!

Today's Plan...

I loved this set the first time I flipped through the catalog, and I was so glad to see it is again in the annual catalog.  I hadn't really done much with it last year and knew it was perfect for a class now that we can get together again in person.  I hope my stampers enjoy it as much I do!

Global Design Project #GDP074 - Perfect Mix


I've been busy creating for a stamp class Tuesday night and planning for a March event.  But once in awhile, it's fun to have someone tell me what to make.  When I'm needing a little break and to revive my creativity, I like to participate in a challenge. I knew I wanted to use my new Perfect Mix stamp set, and this Global Design Project #GDP074 was right up my alley.

I used a banner from the Lots of Labels Framelits and did some paper piecing for the mixing bowl.  After adding a little Whisper White Baker's Twine, I was done.  Quick and easy.  Thanks Global Design Team for the inspiration!

Sealed with Love Valentine


I spent some time this weekend getting ready for my Stamp-a-Stack next weekend.  I am pretty pleased with my cards this month and we will be doing 4 designs instead of the usual 3.  Here is the Valentine card we'll be doing.


Here's a close-up of the envelope.  Such a fun little detail!

Bokeh Technique Birthday Card


This technique is everywhere these days, but it took awhile for me to warm to it.  But I'll tell you once I found a color combination I liked, I was in love.  It is so much fun to blend the inks and then daub the white ink over it.

Mojo Monday 316 Halloween Card

 
I was feeling like a challenge so I went over to Mojo Monday to check out their layout.  When I saw it, I immediately thought of September's My Paper Pumpkin kit. 
 
My finished card isn't quite like my vision, but it was fun creating anyway!  I used the base with the spider web-ish design from My Paper Pumpkin and added stamps, ribbon, washi tape and a button to it.

Halloween Tag a Bag Gift Box

These eyeball soaps are going to my niece and nephew for Halloween.  I knew when I saw them in the store they would be perfect for a Tag a Bag gift box!  I folded the box up stamped a tag and was ready to go.  The hardest part was tying the bakers twine without flipping the eyeballs upside down in the box.
