During convention I participated in two groups different groups of one Christmas Card Swap. I know it sounds a little early to be talking about Christmas, but I think getting started any time after June 1st is fair! LOL But, maybe that is just because I do mostly handmade gifts, which all require time that I don't have.
I was so happy to see that we had a Christmas section in the annual catalog again! It was gone for a couple years, but has happily found it's way back! Today, I'll share with you my two cards for this swap, and next time I'll show you my favorite cards that I received in the swap.
Here's the first card I made:
Here's the first card I made:
This card features the Wonderous Wreath stamp set. I love the the effect you get with the 2 step stamping in this set. I used the new Cucumber Crush In Color for the base of the card, and also for the wreath. I really like how bright that green is! For some fun sparkle, I added some gold Dazzling Details to the wreath, and the bow.
This is the second card I made:
This card has some stronger colors. I used Old Olive, and Cherry Cobbler. This card also features the new Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. I embossed the olive base with our new Brick Wall embossing folder.
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out what I had to share for today!
I hope you have a great day!
