June Group Swap

I'm working on catching up with all the swaps I recently participated in. This last swap is the monthly swap I participate in. The theme changes each month. For June it was brides and babies. I don't really have much in the way of either of these themes since I don't have any family members or friends in need of either! That sounds sad, but that's ok! I really enjoy this monthly swap, they are a group of some amazingly talented women!
These first two cards used Baby Bear. This set was designed to look similar to a photo. I think they nailed it! Amazing how different each card looks using the same set! The first card was made by Debbie and used the new ombre ribbon and Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper both in the new Lemon Lime Twist, I love this new color!
This next card was made by Gayle. She also used the ombre ribbon, but paired it with the Daisy Delight Designer Series Paper and instead of stamping the sentiment right on the card stock that the bear is on she stamped it on a piece of the Crumb Cake card stock and popped it up with dimensionals and used some pearls. Both so adorable!


This next card uses the new set Moon Baby and Better Together which is an old favorite. You could easily change this color and make it neutral or for a girl. Pat made this card and also used the new striped grosgrain ribbon in Dapper Denim. Not sure how well you can see the stars in the background, they are from the Wood Crate Framelits, I love those! She also used the watercolor pencils and a blender pen to color in the moon and baby, then cut the image out and popped it up with dimensional.  Super cute Pat!
This next card was done by little old me! I used a new set called Tabs for Everything. This set has a coordinating tab punch, but I didn't use that punch. I also used a set that came out last year called Badges & Banners, which also coordinates with a couple of other punches, which I did use! Those punches are called Duet Banner and Best Badge. I kept the colors soft. I also used Crumb Cake like the first two cards but paired mine with So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach, and Lemon Lime Twist. Lemon Lime Twist is such a bright color but when you only use a small amount of it, it doesn't seem so. I punched out the badge in Whisper White and stamped the elephant on all 3 colors and then punched out a couple of badges in the Vellum Card Stock. I used some Linen Thread and heat embossed the "Welcome Baby" with white embossing powder and popped it up with dimensional.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards. I'll have another post with the rest of the cards. If you need any of these products, you can pick them up in my STORE. Make sure you use this month's Host Code.

Thanks for stopping by!
