I’ve got a couple of swaps going out this weekend and so I thought that I would share one of them with you here. (I’ll be sharing all my swaps once I get them back on my Facebook page so make sure to like my page so that you get a heads up!) In the meantime here’s a cute little card I made using a couple of products from this year’s Sale-a-bration catalogue.
As you may have seen from a previous post I’m just loving the Lovely Lily Pad photopolymer stamp set and I can’t wait for the Lily Pad dies to arrive (which should be soon)! So of course with my love of lily pads I just had to get the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper and I thought this would be great to use for my Sale-a-bration card swap.
As I said this is just a little card, 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (once folded) of Whisper White cardstock, because I really wanted to highlight the DSP. And I left a very small Whisper White border around the outside edge for the same reason.
I also used the Free as a Bird bundle for this card. I stamped a phrase using Bermuda Bay ink from the Free as a Bird cling stamp set and cut it out using the Stitched Nested Labels dies.
I chose to use Bermuda Bay ink for this card because I thought it would help draw out the blue in the Designer Series Paper and also because I wanted it to coordinate with the Metallic Baker’s Twine and Sequin combo that I also used for this little card. I simply wrapped the Bermuda Bay twine through the inside of the card and tied a bow on the outside, popped up the phrase using some Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added a few of the sequins.
This card was so easy and quick to make and I love how it turned out! I hope my fellow swappers feel the same.
