So here we are again with another group of swaps! I hope you enjoyed last week. I kinda grouped these together as I did last week by color. Today it's mostly black and white with a pop of color. I'm also trying to list all the supplies for all the projects at the bottom. I hope that helps.
This first card Mena kept it nice and simple. I love these kind of cards! It makes it so easy to make a lot of them! The stamp set is from our Annual Catalog called Christmas Pines. It was in last year's Holiday Mini and fortunately they carried it over. It also has a coordinating die called Pretty Pines. The stamp set has some nice sentiments that you can use for the front and inside of your card. I really like how the foil snowflake really helps pop the sentiment off the card. She did use dimensionals on the sentiment layers to give it added dimension and a rhinestone for some extra bling!
This next card was done by Vicki. I'm loving how so many kept the simple theme of their card! Again great for making multiples. This is a new bundle in the Holiday Mini called Hearts Come Home. The stamp set has 3 images of homes along with a few sayings that work great for outside and inside of your card. The coordinating Edgelits have 4 pieces of rows of homes along with a piece that will make it look like stars in the sky and a tag topper piece. In this card you only see 2 of the house on the one die. This is great for creating town scenes. Here Vicki gave the card a pop of Old Olive Mini Chevron ribbon.
This card took a little step away from the simple and what a beautiful card! Laura made this and what a fantastic job she did! She used the Cheers to the Year stamp set and the coordinating embossing folder called Winter Wonder. This card reminds of the song in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! I think it was called Silver & Gold and that's exactly what this is. Laura did the Tarnished Foil Technique on this card. So if you see some black on the silver, you're not seeing things! She also used Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper that has Silver, Gold, Copper, & Champagne in it! It's really beautiful paper and this card looks great with it! She tied it all up and looks like a present!
This next card is also so beautiful! Debbie made this great card. I did get this bundle too (Musical Season), thinking I might use it to make some cards for myself. My daughter had been in the Marching Band in high school and this would also be great to use for scrapbooking as well. Debbie did the black and white too but added a bit more pop of color. She did the swoosh technique. It's simply swiping the ink pad on the card stock without being too heavy. For the greenery, Debbie used markers to color it in. Thankfully the framelit has a die that cuts it out! I like how she added the red tinsel at the bottom to carry your eye down. I think it would still look great without it. The horn is champagne foil. Isn't it gorgeous! It is very close to silver, but if you put the two next to each other, you can definitely see the difference. So besides die cutting the horn, there is a lute, a drummer boy, and I believe a hand held harp, and a treble clef symbol.
