I have recently participated in a SUDSOL swap and I want to share them with you. Everyone used products from the Occasions Mini or the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

The first card is by Cynthia Stevenson from Fort St. John in British Columbia.


Isn't it great! I really like the combination of Designer Series papers (from the Twitteredpated pack) and the Sale-a-bration stamp set "Sprinkled Expressions". The cardstock is Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz, and Whisper White.

The next card is by Catherine Black. This could be a Valentine card or a card for any occasion.

 Catherine used the stamp set "Take it to Heart", and the colours are Daffodil Delight, Going Gray, and Basic Black. She also used the Pinking Hearts border punch, the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and the Hearts Framelits. I love the finished product!

The final card I'm sharing today is by Jenna Innes:


This card is so cute in real life. Jenna has used the Baby Prints stamp set and an unusual combination (for me) of Cajun Craze, Basic Grey, and Baja Breeze. But it sure does work!!! She also used the Curly Label punch and the Eyelet Border punch, the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Baja Breeze pleated ribbon, and Basic Rhinestones. Lovely card Jenna!

Look for more swaps coming soon!

The Day Before

Can it be the middle of February already? And I haven't shared these cards with you as yet!

These these are the cards from our Atlantic Stampers Ink February swap.
The first one is a swing card - here it is closed:


And here it is opened:


This next card uses a gate fold technique:




 

 Here are some unconventional colours used in a Valentine card but it is still lovely:


Finally we have a delightful card using one of our retired stamp sets:


I'll have more for you tomorrow!

Happy Stamping
