Extraordinary Swap Cards – Part 3

Have you enjoyed the postings the last couple of days?  There have been some gorgeous cards!  Today is no different.  These cards are from a showbox swap about a week and a half ago.  If you want more specific information about any of these cards, email me at suzanne@taylormadestamping.com.   Enjoy!

 

 

Okay – visualize this card with the ribbon trim attached in a straight line.  I didn't realize it wasn't straight until it was too late.  ha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't this cute?  That cute new owl stamp, paper, trim and sentiments all from sale-a-bration.  You can get them for free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's another card with that cute new owl stamp.   Stamp, punch, punch, a little designer paper and some seam binding – cute and quick card.  This one was designed by Amy Storrie.  Thanks so much Amy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite cards – if you can have favorites with all these great cards.  Sweet Summer may be my new favorite sale-a-bration stamp set. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another quick and cute card.  After we punched out the stamped image, we bent it just a little to give it a nice 3D effect.  And, it has this cute embossed background on the blue cardstock.  One of the requirements for this swap was that it would only take about 5 minutes to make the card and any big shot work (like the embossing folder) was done ahead of time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't this cute?  This might be my favorite card.  Oh – did I say that before?  Well, I can't really decide because they are all beautiful cards. 

 

Amy embossed the border on designer paper and then sanded it just a little bit so you can see more white – this is a cool technique that I am going to use over and over again.  The stamp set is Bliss – another sale-a-bration set. 

 

 

 

 

Here's another cute card from the swap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's another card made with the Bliss set.  It's just gorgeous.  Thanks Amy for a very cute card!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for hanging in there for several really long postings.  I hope that you have enjoyed all the cards.  I can't wait to make more like these and some that are similar.  One thing all the cards posted today have in common is that they all use sale-a-bration stamp sets or the paper and trim that's available from sale-a-bration. 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you see something here that inspires you to stamp.
