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!!
