Stampin' Up! Convention Card swap # 2

So for this swap I wanted to play with the new blendablities markers from Stampin' Up.  I chose to play with the Coastal Cabana and the Daffodil Delight Assortment.  I used the Daffodil Delight light and medium blendabilities markers and with the Coastal Cabana Assortment I used the Dark and Medium markers.

For the base of the card I used Bermuda Bay cardstock and then for the next layer used Hello Honey and embossed it with the Honeycomb embossing folder.  I cut a piece of Whisper White paper cut 3.5 by 3.25 and stamped it with the Blended Bloom stamp in the tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with the Blendabilities Markers.  Then framed the whisper white paper with the On Film die cut.  The sentiment is stamped from the Hostess set Let Your Hair Down in Blackberry Bliss and then punched out with the 1.75 circle punch topped with a bow in the 3/8" stitched satin ribbon also in blackberry Bliss. 

Hope you like the cards for this years convention swaps!  Can't wait to see what everyone else has created for the swaps!

Stampin' Up! Convention 2014 Swaps

This year while attending the Stampin' Up convention I will be joining a swap group!  So excited I didn't participate in any swaps last year and regretted it. There were so many great cards out there. Here is a picture of my first group of swap cards. 

I used the new in-color Lost Lagoon, and I have to say it is becoming my favorite go to color!  I cut my paper 4.25 by 11 and then scored it at 5.5. Then on one of the sides of the card I cut to the scored line at 2.25.  I used the new Lullaby DSP paper cut 2 by 5.25.  For the stamps I used the Flower Shop set stamped in Blackberry Bliss and in the center of the Flower shop flowers I used the Petite Petals stamp set stamped in Wisteria Wonder and punched them out with the coordinating punches.  In the center of the petite petals I used the 2-way glue pen and sprinkled some dazzling diamonds in the center to give it some SPARKLE!!  For the greeting of the card I used the new hostess stamp set Let Your Hair Down.  Another idea for this card is that you could make it a gift card holder easily on the back side of the DSP piece add another piece of paper and glue down 3 sides of the paper down leaving the top piece open and insert your gift card there.  Hope you like the card and stay tuned for my second swap card!!
