Stampin’ Up! Chain Card Swap – Perennial Lavender Bundle

25 March 2024
7 Comments

25 Mar

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog, today’s is something special and I am going to share the cards from the CHain Card Swaps. At the beginning of October, I started a fun journey with 11 other Australian demonstrators. 

 Let me talk more about this”Chain Card Swap”- We will design a card (round 1) and send it off to one of the other participants. That person Cases the card and sends their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally, a version came home to the maker. We are going to have a blog hop for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.

please note: I did not take this photo, so it will look different from my original one. 

HERE IS MICHELE’S CARD I CASED

The first card that we are sharing was designed by Annette McMillan. My CASE of her card was at round 6.

I used the beautiful Perennial Lavender Bundle with the coordinating Design Series Paper. 
Die-cut a few pieces using Basic White, Berry Burst, Lost Lagoon and Shaded Spruce cardstock. 

It was mind-blowing to see the difference between the first card and the one that returned home. Hop through the blog posts to see how we all interpreted the card differently and how it evolved from start to finish. 

Be sure to check out all the member’s projects below and where you can find out where the design starts and it ended. Mine is the last card in this part, so you can see the difference and the magic.

    Beautiful card Maheswari, and I was lucky enough to receive it at the end of the swap. Lovely rich colour and texture. Reminds me of that ditty "from little things, big things grow"!

Make it Masculine Today’s post is by the Piccadil Make it Masculine 
Today’s post is by the Piccadilli Players about masculine cards, and I wanted to create something a little different Masculine card with a vintage feel.

For this card, I used the Gears and Texture Bundle, which is a fantastic set for masculine projects. To create the background, I started with watercolor paper and blended Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie for a rich, aged look.

I love how the colours and texture came together to create a masculine card with a unique vintage style.
We have more inspiration using Masculine cards today. Let's see what Su @aromasandart created.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!
