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"!

Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each mo Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each month we hop along with a different theme, and this month’s theme is all about… FUN WITH SHAPES! 

I had so much fun playing with a mix of squares, rectangles, circles, and more — layering them together to create a clean but playful design. I also added a simple straight-line detail in the background to keep everything looking modern and balanced.

For my base card, I used Secret Sea — such a bold, rich colour that instantly makes the whole card feel so elegant and intense. It’s seriously the perfect base for making the shapes pop!

For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaH For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaHop,  I created an elegant yet heartfelt card using a combination of dry embossing and heat embossing to add depth and texture. I started with a Secret Sea base card, which instantly gave the design a rich and sophisticated look.
The main focus is the embossed layer made with the Love 3D Embossing Folder, adding beautiful dimension and softness to the background. To enhance this, I layered heart die-cut pieces from the Made with Love bundle-such a versatile set and perfect with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.

Today’s Hop was with the 2024 Artisan Design Team Today’s Hop was with the  2024 Artisan Design Team members, coming together as The Piccadilli Players. This time, we’re playing along with a Sketch Challenge, and I have to say… it was so much fun to create with this one!

For my card, I reached for the Brushed with Petals Suite. I love how versatile this suite is - it makes mixing and matching effortless. I used one of the stamp sets along with the die-cut pieces to build the main focal elements, adding lovely layers and texture. For the finishing touch, I chose a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, which tied everything together beautifully.
