Surfing Santa
At our recent Craft Retreat, we made a few beautiful Christmas cards, which I'll be sharing with you. This lovely ShoeBox Swap was designed by Julie. Her version actually had a lot more detail but I was feeling lazy, so mine is a simpler version.
It's great to have a Christmas stamp set that suits our climate and season at Christmas. It was fun to colour this guy and give him some waves to surf on! I just added a few Iridescent Faceted Gems for some sparkle. You can see everything I used listed below.
What is a Shoebox Swap, I hear you ask? All the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design.

Splendid Autumn Panel Cards Set
I used 3 different embossing folders to add texture to the background, and the sentiments are all from the Unbounded Love stamp set. The finishing touch is a smattering of Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Splendid Autumn Birthday
Here is my final Panel Card using the Splendid Autumn 6"x6" paper. This time I chose a floral pattern in these pretty soft purple tones.
This layout was borrowed from US Demo Karen Titus, but I adapted the measurements slightly to suit our cardstock size. The Main Image is 8.5cm x 9cm, and the background piece (use the reverse side) is the leftover part, trimmed down to 11cm. Then simply cut the main image into strips - at 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3cm.
I popped my pieces on a Cajun Craze card base (embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder). I don't use Cajun Craze very often, but it really brings out the colours in this floral pattern. The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set.

Splendid Autumn Sympathy
Here is my second Panel Card using the Splendid Autumn 6"x6" paper. I thought this scene and colours would make a lovely sympathy card.
This layout was borrowed from US Demo Karen Titus, but I adapted the measurements slightly to suit our cardstock size. The Main Image is 8.5cm x 9cm, and the background piece (use the reverse side) is the leftover part, trimmed down to 11cm. Then simply cut the main image into strips - at 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3cm.

Splendid Autumn Just for You
Today I am sharing the ShoeBox Swap that I designed for my recent Craft Retreat for everyone to make. This is one of the versions (everyone got to choose any one of the patterns from the Splendid Autumn 6"x6" paper).
This layout was borrowed from US Demo Karen Titus, but I adapted the measurements slightly to suit our cardstock size. The Main Image is 8.5cm x 9cm, and the background piece (use the reverse side) is the leftover part, trimmed down to 11cm. Then simply cut the main image into strips - at 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3cm.
I popped my pieces on a Pumpkin Pie card base (embossed with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder). The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set...so many great greetings in this set!
