March Swaps

House Mouse Card Swap - PP

Colored in using colored pencils and added CTMH Liquid Glass (Glossy Accents) for candle and Happy Birthday die cut. Die cut scallop was a AlliExpress die order.


March Administration Appreciation Cards -PP 

(10 cards sent! But only 8 cards here, forgot to take 2 pics!) 

Sorry for the glare on some of the pictures. I wasn't thinking about adding them to my blog and when I do a swap I always take a quick pic before pop it in the mail!

Handmade Flower, Lace Embossed Folder, Inked Edges, Stamped "Thank You" using CTMH D1703 Nature's Wish stamp set. 
 
Fussy cut pattern paper, Prima and The Paper Studio flowers, inked dryer sheet for leaves, Bird is from Stampin' Up - Nature's Hello set, edges inked.

Different pattern papers, sticker from a RAK.

Punch-out's from a Hot of the Press Card maker's Kit I had in my stash. I popped it up and placed ribbons underneath.

Matted the flowered paper with white cardstock and edge distress and inked around all pieces. Stamped "Thank You" using CTMH D1703 Nature's Wish stamp set. Inked edges and added some scrap burlap pieces I had. 

Inked edges of card base with Sunset ink. Layered the patterned papers and matted them on kraft cardstock. Stamped image came from CTMH C1505 Pun Fun set using Chocolate ink.

Using my homemade coffee stained paper. Stamped various images to resemble a postcard. This was on it's way to a postal employee.  I used the Norman Rockwell image inked up the edges a bit and matted on kraft cardstock. Cut out "thanks" on the Cricut using 1/2" Artiste.

Same Artiste Cricut "thanks" but at 1" cut size. Used my Sizzix Nestabilities Circles and Stampin' Up Hearts a Flutter stamp set.

Adminastration Apresation Treat Holder - PP

I made a Treat Holder for one of the Admins in the group, because she had accidentally sent me a treat holder thinking I was her partner for a swap back around Christmas time. She told me just to keep it and she will make another one for the right partner. I have been wanting to make one for her in return.

I made little coin pockets, the edges had a tiny tab that were glued down. Then I placed crafting clips (Dollar tree has these by their crafts) to make sure they held. Left them overnight and then applied glue to the center of each pocket.

              
  The treats I filled the pockets with!
 

I wanted the pattern to wrap around the top of the holder. Finished Holder.

Ready as I can be for the Retreat & the Red Mustached Army

Packed after a 2 day push from my husband to get off the fence. I am ready as best I could for the May Scrapbooking Retreat.


I participated in a Card Swap for the Retreat creating my own Red Mustache Army.


I have to say I was totally blown away by what the girl's created. They bling'd, layered, trimmed, frilled, heat & dry embossed their cards out! Definitely need to push myself for the next one! Should have heat embossed that mustache!!!!
