MORE FROM THE TAG IT STAMP SET!

This is another one of the swap cards I made for our New Catalog Swap.  I, of course, used the Tag It Stamp Set and then some of the new 3/4" Chevron Ribbon in Smoky Slate.  I also used the Ovals Collection Framelits and the new Chevron Embossing Folder (both for the Big Shot).

TAG IT STAMP SET!

For my New Card Swap cards, I used the Tag It Stamp Set.  This is the Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog.  That means $3 from each Tag It Stamp Set Stampin' Up! sells will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

GETTING CAUGHT UP!

I have not really been neglecting all of you!  I am on vacation, and had every intention of posting each morning, but I got all caught up in sitting by the pool and touring Indianapolis... so, I am catching up now.  Below are four posts of cards Keri made for our New Catalog Swap.  I hope you enjoy them.

I will be posting my New Catalog Swap cards next, so be sure to stop back by and check them out!

THE LAST REALLY GOOD GREETINGS CARD!

This is the last card Keri made for our swap.  For this card she used the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Honeycomb Embossing Folder for the Big Shot and the sentiment from Really Good Greetings.

REALLY GOOD GREETINGS ONE MORE TIME!

For this card Keri used a very unique, fun masking technique.  She took a piece of regular copy paper and cut a heart out of it.  Then she inked up her Woodgrain Background stamp with White Stazon Ink.  Then she put the piece of copy paper with the heart cut out of it onto her inked up stamp and then put her cardfront on top of the copy paper and rubber her hand over where the heart cutout was.  She embossed her greeting from Really Good Greetings in white onto a Blossom Flower Punch and added some leaves made with some Designer Series Paper from the Color Collections Stack.  She topped it off with some Pearl Jewels down in the corner.

MORE REALLY GOOD GREETINGS!

Another one of Keri's New Catalog swap cards!

For this card Keri incorporated the Boho Blossoms Punch and the new Mosaic Punch, along with some rhinestones to give it a little bling!  The sentiment comes from Really Good Greetings.

MOSAIC MADNESS!

MORE MOSAIC MADNESS!

This is another one of Caroline's swap cards.  I love how she incorporated all of the color with the punches and then did a simple "White-On-White" layering.  She added a little extra dimension by using the coordinating embossing folder and some dimensionals.  This is a very quick and easy card to make when you use the coordinating stamps and punches!

MOSAIC MADNESS!

Ready for more New Catalog Swaps?  This one was made by Caroline.

Caroline used the Mosaic Madness stamp set for her swaps.  On this card she also used the coordinating Mosaic Punch and the Modern Mosaic textured embossing folder.  You can purchase the Mosaic Madness stamp set and the Mosaic Punch in a bundle and save!

ONE MORE LABEL LOVE SWAP CARD!

This is the last card Nancy made for our New Catalog swap.

I love all the "bling" on this card!  The combination of rhinestones and Silver Shimmer paper is stunning.

ANOTHER LABEL LOVE CARD!

One more swap card from Nancy!

I love the way Nancy used the punch to make little "peek-a-boo" holes on the front of her card.  I think this is a really nice technique, and I will definitely be using it in the future!

We have one more card from Nancy, and then we will move on to another swapper and another new product from the new catalog!

WOW!

My blog readers are the best!!  I am shocked to have already met my goal of 109,000 blog hits.  It is very exciting to think so many people have stopped by my blog since its beginning in 2007.  I hope you continue to stop by often and find some creative inspiration here.

THANK YOU!

CAN I MAKE IT TO 109,000?

I just noticed that my little "sitemeter" counter is at 108,927.  That is such an accomplishment for me!!

Let's see if I can make it to 109,000 by Friday at midnight.  I cannot do it without you, so be sure to stop by and tell all your friends to stop by too!

I truly appreciate all my blog readers and am grateful for each and every one of you!!

MORE LABEL LOVE!

This is another one of the cards Nancy made for our New Catalog Swap.  I love the soft look the Finishing Touches Edgelits (for the Big Shot) gives to her card.  It really "fancies" (yep, that is a word ;o) the card up!

LABEL LOVE!

My demonsrator friend, Nancy, also participated in our new catalog swap.  Over the next couple days, I will share some of her cards with you.
