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"!

    This is beautiful! I never would have thought to go for the lavender die-cuts for the feature.

    What a great example of CASEing another’s creation. I think it would be fun to see everyone’s creation together.

Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎 This mo Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎
This month, our theme is Die-Cutting, and I decided to highlight trees in my card design.

For my card base, I used Basic Gray, and I sponged the first layer with Blueberry Bushel to create depth and a lovely background for the colourful trees.
 I watercoloured the cardstock before die cutting. I love how this adds a unique touch and brings variation to each tree in colours.
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!
