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"!

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.

For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-insp For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-inspired card with a vintage feel. I wanted the card to have those warm, gentle colours that remind me of Autumn, while keeping the overall design soft and elegant.
I also added some delicate flowers to the design. I love how flowers can bring a little softness to a vintage-style card, and they worked beautifully with the Autumn colours.
I had so much fun putting all the little details together — choosing the colours, layering the elements and adding those finishing touches that make a card feel special.
